Following an upcoming meeting between Azerbaijani and Armenian leaders
their countries' ministries of foreign affairs will continue Garabagh
conflict consultations.
Azerbaijani FM Elmar Mammadyarov says that after the both presidents'
meeting at the end of November the relevant discussion will go on in
Athens on 1-2 December within the OSCE foreign ministers' meeting.
Mammadyarov says that definition of negotiations is stage-by-stage
process.
"First of all it is necessary to agree about withdrawal of Armenian
troops from occupied lands with following process of demining and.
Then it is needed to restore infrastructure and return all refugees to
their native lands with solution of all socio-economic problems. And
only after that it will become possible to talks of status for Nagorno
Garabagh. In parallel the Azerbaijani and Armenian communities of
Nagorno Garabagh will discuss jointly the matter of future status
of Nagorno Garabagh. The status issue can be solved only within the
frames of territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. Examples of settlement
of similar issues can be brought in Tatarstan, Bashkortostan and
many other countries of the world, including Europe. The Armenian
party wants to solve the matter immediately with status, but I don't
believe that today we can approach to the last stage. First of all,
there should be released occupied territories, and without that it
is impossible to talk of any economic co-operation," the minister said.
