The status of Nagorno-Karabakh is a key issue in the process aimed
at settling the conflict over the self-proclaimed republic, Armenian
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan told journalists on Wednesday.
"It is difficult to speak about our success in sorting out other
problems without finding a solution to the central aspect of the
Karabakh problem, the status of Nagorno-Karabakh. Recognition of
Nagorno-Karabakh's right of self-determination and its ability
to exercise this right remain key issues in the peace process,"
Nalbandyan said.
"The Madrid principles are lying on the negotiating table," the
Armenian minister said, adding that these principles were presented
by the co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group in November 2007.
"These principles serve as the foundation of our talks. The Minsk
Group co-chairmen continue offering working proposals on ways to
resolve the conflict. These efforts will continue until the sides
manage to bridge the gap between their positions," he said.
