Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov negatively assesses the
fact that so far Armenia has not expressed position on the updated
Madrid principles, offered to the sides by the OSCE Minsk Group
Co-Chairs in January.
"This document is result of the Minsk Group's work with the sides of
the conflict," Mammadyarov said to journalists at a press conference
in Baku.
At the meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents Ilham Aliyev and
Serzh Sargsyan in January in Sochi, the OSCE Minsk Group presented
the parties an updated version of the Madrid document, which is the
basis for negotiations.
Official Baku, adopting the Madrid principles, has not yet received
the information from the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen on Yerevan's
position on an updated version of the Madrid principles proposed by
the mediators to Armenia. According to Mammadyarov, unlike Armenia
Azerbaijan accepts the document and is ready to continue to work
towards the long-term peace agreement based on the updated Madrid
principles.
"Unfortunately, it is already May, and Armenia has not yet expressed
its position on the updated document," the minister said.
Recently, Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian met with the
OSCE Minsk group co-chairmen in Brussels. "I think that the results
of this meeting will be voiced by the Co-Chairs during the upcoming
talks in Venice," Mammadyarov added.
