    MOSCOW MEETING TO PROMOTE KARABAKH SETTLEMENT NEGOTIATIONS - YEREVAN

    YEREVAN. Oct 30 (Interfax) - Yerevan expects positive results from the
    upcoming Moscow meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders on the
    Karabakh settlement with the participation of the Russian president.

    "We hope that this initiative will give a boost to [the Karabakh
    settlement] negotiations," Armenian Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandian
    told a Thursday press conference.

    "The conflict is being settled within the framework of the OSCE Minsk
    Group and on the basis of the Madrid proposals. This is an efficient
    format, and there is no need to invent anything else," he said.

    "In fact, we may resolve the Karabakh problem if Azerbaijan displays
    the political will and does not try to shift the issue to other
    areas. We have a big desire for resolving the problem. We also think
    that the negotiations are passing through an important stage. We hope
    that the presidents' meeting in Moscow will step up the negotiations,"
    Nalbandian said.

    The minister will visit Moscow on October 31 for a tripartite meeting
    with Russian and Azerbaijani colleagues in preparations for the
    November 2 meeting of the three presidents.

    "The possible mediation of Turkey in the Karabakh settlement is not on
    the agenda. Turkey may contribute to the process by opening the border
    on Armenia and establishing diplomatic relations with our country. It
    may also encourage Azerbaijan to take a more constructive stand. That
    is the possible assistance [of Turkey]," Nalbandian noted.
