Baku, 19 October: Azerbaijan is ready to start working on the text
of a peace agreement, without touching on the issues remaining open
in the Nagornyy Karabakh talks, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar
Mammadyarov told a news conference today after talks with Ecuadorian
Foreign Relations, Trade and Integration Minister Ricardo Patino.
Mammadyarov said that the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs will arrive in
the region at the beginning of next week and that discussions about
the Nagornyy Karabakh settlement processes, which have not already
been agreed on, will continue. Azerbaijan considers that in parallel
with discussions of issues remaining open, work can be conducted on
the text of a political agreement on the basis of the already agreed
principles. Karabakh was also discussed with US Deputy Secretary of
State William Burns [in Baku on 18 October].
The Ecuadorian minister backed a speedy peaceful settlement to the
Nagornyy Karabakh conflict based on international law.
