The proposal of the OSCE Minsk Group for the settlement of the
Karabakh conflict is the basis for continuing the talks, said the
minister of foreign affairs of Armenia Edward Nalbandyan in a news
conference on June 4 in Yerevan. Commenting on Baku's statement that
there is no document, the minister assured that there is a document,
and is registered in the OSCE office in Vienna. The correspondent of
Regnum reports that this document with proposals on the settlement of
the Nagorno-Karabakh issue was handed out to the foreign ministers
of Russia, France and the United States, in November of last year
in Madrid.
The Armenian foreign minister also underlined that the militaristic
statements of Baku may hinder the negotiations. Nalbandyan says
responding to such militaristic pronouncements would kindle the
situation on the eve of the meeting of the two presidents. The foreign
minister of Armenia said peace talks mean that political propaganda
should be stopped because it is impossible to resolve the conflict
when there is such militaristic rhetoric in Azerbaijan. Edward
Nalbandyan offered statistical data, according to which 29 percent
of the Azerbaijanis are for a military solution, and 82 percent
disapprove the activity of the OSCE Minsk Group. In this connection,
the Armenian minister also reminded that in 2001 after the talks in
Key West the sides were very close to the resolution of the conflict
but it did not happen because Baku stated that the Azerbaijani society
is not ready for the resolution of the conflict.
