    Armenia expressed optimism Wednesday that progress could be made
    toward a settlement of its dispute with Azerbaijan over the status of
    the Nagorno-Karabakh enclave despite the breakdown in talks between
    the two countries' presidents earlier this year.

    "The negotiations must be continued and what we have on the table
    today must be used as the basis," Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian
    said at a meeting with Peter Semneby, the European Union's special
    representative in the South Caucasus region.

    "Armenia has already made all possible compromises, there is no place
    left to step back," he said. "The time has come for Azerbaijan to
    take steps so that we can get this (negotiation) process moving and
    bring it to completion."

    Semneby urged the two sides to act soon to get talks under way again.

    "Indeed, there is a window of opportunity, which we need to take
    advantage of," he said.
