    THE PRIORITY IS KARABAKH PEOPLE'S POSITION: YEREVAN RESPONDS TO BAKU

    When it comes to the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict the
    priority is the position of the people of Nagorno Karabakh which was
    expressed yet in 1991 by a referendum, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson
    of the Republic of Armenia Tigran Balayan told Tert.am when asked to
    comment on recent statements by Azerbaijani officials.

    "Armenia has backed that position and will continue doing so.

    Azerbaijan is only wasting time: all the same sooner or later it
    will have to take Nagorno Karabakhi people's expression of will into
    account," said Balayan.

    Earlier some Azerbaijani officials said that Armenia has no position
    in the settlement of this conflict and that the time Armenia allegedly
    asked to think over the conflict has expired.

    Particularly Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov had said
    that "Armenia told Baku that it needs time to withdraw troops from
    a part [meaning Lachin and Kelbajar] of the occupied territories
    of Azerbaijan" adding that the time for that issue, as well as for
    the return of the Azerbaijani people to Nagorno Karabakh is yet to
    be scheduled.

    On May 5 Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Shavarsh Kocharyan had
    also responded to the statement by the Azerbaijani officials.

    "As soon as Baku is ready to return Nagorno Karabakh's regions it has
    occupied and to recognize the independence of the Republic of Nagorno
    Karabakh, as soon as it get rids of a mindset and work style typical
    of the Middle Ages, Baku can then ask NKR to held discussions over
    mutually-beneficial issues," Kocharyan told local Armenian daily Azg.
