    Azeri official says Armenia should change its stance on Karabakh
    conflict



    [Presenter Afat Telmanqizi] The suggestion of Russian President
    Dmitriy Medvedev that a meeting be held between the Armenian and
    Azerbaijani presidents can be very productive, Novruz Mammadov, head
    of the foreign relations of the presidential administration, has told
    APA news agency.

    He said that the time has come to resolve the Nagornyy Karabakh
    conflict. Armenia should demonstrate wisdom and determination and take
    a constructive position for resolving the conflict.

    As for Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan's statement that Armenia is
    ready to resume negotiations within the Madrid principles that allows
    for self-determination of Nagornyy Karabakh, Novruz Mammadov said that
    the Madrid principles are not fundamental principles of international
    law. The Nagornyy Karabakh conflict must be resolved within the
    framework of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity. The issue of
    self-determination of Armenians in Nagornyy Karabakh can be looked at
    within this framework. The entire world realizes this today and there
    is no other option for resolving the issue, end of quote.

    [Presenter Ayaz Nizamioglu] In an interview with ANS Novruz Mammadov
    voiced his view on remarks by US Assistant Secretary of State Daniel
    Fried that the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict could be resolved by the end
    of the year. Novruz Mammadov said that the events in Georgia
    demonstrated to the international community that the lack of solution
    to the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict is a threat to global
    stability. Resolution of the conflict depends on what position Armenia
    takes.

    [Novruz Mammadov] Should Armenia display a little more determination
    and take a constructive stance, then the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict
    can be resolved soon. Novruz Mammadov, head of the foreign relations
    of the presidential administration, told this to ANS while commenting
    on remarks by US Assistant Secretary of State Daniel Fried that the
    Nagornyy Karabakh conflict could be resolved by the end of the year.
