Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan has said that he would be glad
of any meeting with Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev, since these
contacts are leading to positive decisions.
"I am glad for any meeting with President Aliyev because I can see
that all our meetings leading to positive decisions. A few days ago we
signed a declaration in Moscow. One of the clauses of this declaration
is that we see the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution in the format
of the OSCE (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe)
Minsk Group," Sargsyan said in Brussels at a press conference held
jointly with EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso.
"After the Moscow meeting with President Aliyev we agreed to order our
foreign ministers to hold talks in line with the Madrid principles,"
Sargsyan said.
"If we reach common ground, then I think an agreement on the principles
should be signed, which, in turn, should be followed by a fundamental
agreement," the Armenian president said.
The Armenian leader could not say when the next meetings and talks
on the Karabakh issue are due.
It was reported that the Russian, Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents
signed a declaration on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement in
Moscow last Sunday.
