Insisting on its principled approach, Azerbaijan is ready to make
compromises in the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,
states Deputy Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Araz Azimov.
"This situation is complicated. Nagorno-Karabakh conflict doesn't
have a 100% one-sided solution. There is only a solution of mutual
compromise and Azerbaijan has already stated the its range of
compromises. Insisting on its principled position, Azerbaijan is
ready to make compromises," Azimov told journalists, as reported by
Azerbaijani news site Xronika.az.
The deputy minister also said that Azerbaijan is ready to accord
Nagorno-Karabakh high status as a compromise. According to him,
Azerbaijan is prepared to settle the conflict on the basis of three
main principles, which were presented as fundamental principles by
OSCE Minsk Group.
According to Azimov, this proves that Azerbaijan, by making those
compromises, "is standing in the middle of the bridge and is waiting
for Armenia to similarly give up being a maximalist and also to
approach the middle."
According to him Armenia must agree and announce that it agrees to
settle the conflict within the frames of Azerbaijan's territorial
integrity. "Otherwise, it means there is no common agreement for
the sides to continue the discussions," Azerbaijani deputy foreign
minister stated.
