Baku. Lachin Sultanova - APA. "Deployment of peacekeeping forces in
the region is not discussed in the negotiations on the settlement
of Nagorno Karabakh conflict," spokesman for Foreign Ministry Elkhan
Polukhov told APA.
He said the parties are negotiating basing on common principles.
"The next stage of the negotiations will begin after agreement is
reached on common principles. Deployment of the peacekeepers in the
conflict zone is a part of the execution of the agreements. This is
a very big issue, therefore it can be discussed as the next stage. A
number of issues concerning the deployment of peacekeepers in the
conflict zone should be solved. The question is the composition, number
of the peacekeepers, the countries involved, place of deployment,
their mandate etc. That's why this issue is not being discussed at
present," he said.
Taking a stance on Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh
Kocharian's statement "Armenia may recognize the independence of
Nagorno Karabakh", Polukhov said such statements of the Deputy Foreign
Minister do not have positive influence on the process of negotiations.
"This shows again that Armenia's position is not constructive,"
he said.
