    BAKU POINTS TO POSITIVE SHIFTS IN KARABAKH SETTLEMENT PROCESS

    BAKU. Oct 30

    The fact that at the latest meeting between the leaders of Azerbaijan
    and Armenia in Paris French President Francois Hollande urged the
    parties to start working on a draft of a big peace agreement is a
    positive aspect in the Karabakh settlement process, officials in
    Baku said.

    "Among the main outcomes of the Paris meeting I can point to President
    Hollande calling for the need to work over a draft of a big peace
    agreement," Azeri Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said in an
    interview with Azeri news agencies Trend and APA.

    Each meeting at the presidential level is a positive fact, he said.

    "Such meetings help understand the approach of the opposite side
    in order to push the conflict resolution process forward. The Paris
    talks were held throughout the day in several stages and focused on
    the issues on which there is no progress yet," the minister said.

    Having reiterated Baku's principled position, Azeri President Ilham
    Aliyev said that a peaceful resolution of the conflict requires
    first and foremost a withdrawal of Armenian armed forces from the
    occupied Azeri lands. Mammadyarov said that once this demand is met
    Azerbaijan will have broad opportunities for establishing regional
    security, opening its borders and communications, and agreeing on
    confidence-building measures.

    "With no Armenian troops in the Azeri territories there will be no
    more need for snipers, and the number of armed incidents will fall
    sharply. We will establish peace and develop the region," said the
    Azeri minister.
