    The Foreign Ministers of the OSCE Minsk Group for the Nagorno-Karabakh
    peace process issued a joint statement, pointing out progress in the
    process during this year.

    The heads of the delegations reaffirmed their commitment to the Moscow
    declaration of last November and the Helsinki statement by the OSCE
    Foreign Ministers' Council of last December. They welcomed the progress
    in the negotiation process, namely, the six Armenian-Azerbaijani
    presidential meetings this year.

    The Foreign Ministers expressed hope for more frequent
    Armenian-Azerbaijani meetings, which, in turn, will intensify the
    dialogue and help the sides agree on the fundamental settlement
    principles proposed in Madrid in 2007. The Foreign Ministers of the
    OSCE MG Co-Chairing countries (Russia, France and the USA) reaffirmed
    their commitments at the G8 Summit in Aquila on June 10, 2009. The
    matter particularly concerns assistance to the Armenian and Azerbaijani
    leaders in agreeing on the fundamental settlement principles.

    The OSCE Minsk Group called on the sides to agree on the principles
    as soon as possible The OSCE MG Co-Chairs believe the principles can
    serve as a basis for a comprehensive settlement of regional conflicts.

    The Armenian and Azerbaijani Foreign Ministers reported progress
    in reaching common grounds on various aspects of the settlement
    principles. RIA Novosti reported that the OSCE MG Foreign Ministers
    stated their countries' willingness to complete the process of agreeing
    on the principles. The Ministers reaffirmed their intention to follow
    the principles of non-use of force, territorial integrity and nations'
    right to self-determination.
