    AZERI OFFICIAL SAYS NO AGREEMENT ON MAJOR POINTS IN KARABAKH TALKS

    Azerbaijan

    [Presenter] Making public the points in the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict
    that have not been agreed yet is, in general, to the detriment of
    the negotiations, the head of the foreign relations department at the
    presidential administration, Novruz Mammadov, has said in an interview
    with Trend news agency commenting on a statement by Russian Foreign
    Minister Sergey Lavrov.

    [Correspondent over archive footage] The issues of principle that
    have not yet been agreed in the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict are
    the status of Nagornyy Karabakh and the Lacin corridor, as well as
    the deployment of peacekeeping forces.

    In response to the statement of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov
    saying that a number of issues have been agreed in the settlement
    of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict, Novruz Mammadov, the head of the
    foreign relations department at the presidential administration,
    has said that there are still disagreements between Azerbaijan and
    Armenia in the issues of principle. He said that since there is no
    agreement between the sides on some major issues, provisions agreed
    earlier cannot be accepted fully today. Quote, since the statement
    was made by Sergey Lavrov, it has caused a wide reaction. But the
    sides made these kinds of statements before as well. They also
    caused reaction at the time. The thing is that since the conflict
    can be resolved step by step, both the parties and the [OSCE Minsk
    Group] co-chairmen are going through a difficult period, which is
    natural. However, major issues have not been agreed upon, unquote.

    The department head believes that agreement should be reached on a
    number of important issues so that provisions agreed previously could
    remain in force.
