The leadership of Azerbaijan at the Baku talks with cochairmen of the
OSCE Minsk group intends to discuss the drafting of a large-scale
peace agreement on Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister
Elmar Mamedyarov has said.
"We are prepared to start work on the large-scale peace agreement on
the basis of the settled issues [with Armenia] and intend to mull over
the matter with the cochairmen," he said at a briefing on Wednesday.
According to the minister, during the next tour of the conflict region
at the beginning of next week, the cochairmen will visit Baku. Their
main purpose will be to finalize outstanding issues and the further
direction of joint work.
Mamedyarov spoke of the need for intensive work on coordinating
outstanding issues, but stressed that they should not obstruct the
beginning of work on the peace treaty.
"It is a big document and we must not lose time on resolving issues
that should work out one way or another," he said.
Mamedyarov said that on Tuesday Baku saw a thorough discussion of
ways of settling the Karabakh conflict with U.S. Deputy Secretary of
State William Burns.
