During their visit to Baku OSCE Minsk Group co- chairmen Matthew Bryza
(U.S.), Yurii Merzlyakov (Russia) and Bernard Fassier (France) have
been informed that Azerbaijan's position to the Karabakh conflict
remains unchanged - the conflict could be resolved only within the
framework of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity, Hazar Ibragim,
Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry's spokesman, said at today's briefing
while commenting on results of the co-chairmen's visit to the region
last week.
He said Azerbaijan asked the co-chairmen to urge Armenia to occupy
"constructive" position at the talks. Asked if date of the meeting
between Azerbaijani and Armenian Foreign Ministers has been discussed
with the co-chairmen, Ibragim asked negatively and added that "work
with the co-chairmen continues."
Commenting on the French co-chairman's statement that Azerbaijan has
presented its proposals on Madrid principles, Ibragim said the comments
on Madrid principles presented by Azerbaijan are based on Azerbaijan's
territorial integrity. Ibragim rejected Armenian Foreign Minister's
words about "warlike statements" made by Azerbaijan. He said these
"statements are based on reality." "Azerbaijan will further improve
its economic, diplomatic and military potential and itself choose the
way of restoration of its territorial integrity within the framework
of international law," added Ibragim.
Questioned by journalists Ibragim said the co-chairmen's visit to
Karabakh cannot be interpreted as involvement of Armenians of Nagorno
Karabakh into negotiations and success of Armenian diplomacy.
