    PEACE TALKS ON NAGORNO-KARABAKH CONFLICT INTENSIFY, AZERBAIJANI FM

    State Telegraph Agency of the Republic of Azerbaijan
    November 11, 2009 Wednesday

    The negotiations on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict have intensified
    again, said Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Elmar Mammadyarov.

    The Minister noted Azerbaijani side`s major demand during discussions
    is the soonest withdrawal of Armenia`s troops from the occupied
    territories.

    Mammadyarov said during the latest visit to the region, OSCE Minsk
    Group co-chairs were told again about Azerbaijan`s stance.

    Armenia wants the status of Nagorno-Karabakh to be defined before the
    troops are pulled out. This non-constructive position bring already
    agreed matters back to the negotiating table. First and foremost, the
    status may be defined only after Armenia leaves occupied Azerbaijani
    lands, IDPs return to their homes with peace and stability restored.

    According to him, Azerbaijan is ready to grant the high status to
    Nagorno-Karabakh. However, the status will be determined within the
    framework of Azerbaijans territorial integrity.

    The Minister pointed out the sides are expected to meet during the
    upcoming meeting of OSCE Foreign Ministers in Athens.
