Based on the results of the meeting to take place at the end of
November between the Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents, the two
countries' foreign ministries will continue consultations from December
1-2 in Athens, which is hosting the OSCE foreign ministers' meeting,
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov told journalists today,
as reported by Azerbaijani news agency News.Az.
Mammadyarov told journalists in Baku today that Azerbaijan "sees
three stages in the Karabakh conflict settlement".
"The first stage is the withdrawal of Armenian troops from Karabakh
with subsequent mine clearance. The second stage is the restoration of
infrastructure, the resolution of socio-economic problems and the third
--- the return of all refugees to their native lands. Only after that
will it be possible to speak about the status of Nagorno-Karabakh,"
Mammadyarov said.
As reported by News.Az, during the three stages, the Azerbaijani
and Armenian communities of Nagorno-Karabakh will discuss the future
status of this region together.
"I would like to repeat that the issue of status can be settled only
within the framework of territorial integrity," concluded Mammadyarov.
