Baku. Rufat Ahmadzada - APA. A meeting of the foreign ministers of
Azerbaijan and Armenia with the participation of the OSCE Minsk Group
co-chairs is expected to be held in early December, Azerbaijani FM
Elmar Mammadyarov said at a press conference Nov.3 following the
meeting with Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter
Szijjarto in Baku, APA reports.
The minister said extensive discussions were held in Paris.
"Meetings were held at various levels, including with French President
Hollande. This is a step and a process as well. Hollande said in
his statement that it is high time to continue working on a peace
agreement. As you know, there are the Madrid principles. However, some
issues haven't been agreed on yet. This conflict can not be resolved
in one day. We need to continue discussions on those issues that
are not yet agreed on. New York meeting is a proposal. Most likely,
a meeting on the Karabakh conflict will be held as a part of OSCE
Ministerial Council meeting in Basel at the beginning of December. We
will hold discussions. There would be a need for the next meeting of
the presidents in the near future," he said.
Mammadyarov said that Azerbaijan considers it necessary to finish
the work on the peace agreement.
"We want to establish relations between the two communities. However,
the most important step is a withdrawal of troops from Azerbaijan. The
withdrawal of troops will remove most impediments and open up
opportunities for peace," he added.
