    AZERBAIJAN REPORTS TO U.S. ABOUT LEGAL ASPECTS OF ARMENIAN-AZERBAIJANI CONFLICT

    Washington - APA. U.S. law experts learned the reports about the
    legal aspects of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

    Within the framework of 11th Azerbaijan-U.S. security dialogue in
    Washington, Azerbaijan submitted a report describing legal aspects
    of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno Karabakh conflict to the United
    States, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan Araz Azimov
    said at a briefing at the U.S. National Press Center, APA reports
    quoting Azertac news agency.

    Azerbaijan-U.S. security dialogue launched in 1996 is contributing as
    a framework mechanism in the determination of directions of defense
    and security cooperation between the sides. Azerbaijani deputy
    foreign minister Araz Azimov and U.S. Deputy Secretary of State for
    political and military affairs Andrew Shapiro co-chaired the next
    round of the dialogue in Washington, where they discussed prevention
    of proliferation of the weapons of mass destruction, drug trafficking
    in the region, war on terror, strengthening of security in the Caspian
    basin, U.S. interests in the region and other issues, as well as ways
    of extension of the bilateral cooperation opportunities in this sphere.

    The deputy minister said law experts in Washington learned the report
    prepared by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs about the legal aspects
    of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. They unanimously supported the
    settlement of the conflict on the basis of the principle of territorial
    integrity. Azimov noted that the principle of self-determination,
    Armenian argument in the negotiations, can not be contradictory
    to the principle of territorial integrity. Azerbaijan is ready,
    as a concession, to review the status of 50 000 Armenian community
    living in the Nagorno Karabakh region within its state borders,
    but this process can not be realized without participation of 70 000
    Azerbaijani community displaced from the region.

    The deputy foreign minister said he was hopeful that the United
    States, as the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair, would make more efforts
    for the solution to the conflict. "We are living at the time which
    requires results for the stability and security of the region".

    Azimov recommended to those, who don't link the opening of the
    Turkish-Armenian borders with the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, to
    carefully approach the processes in the region.
