    BAKU BELIEVES REFERENDUM ON NAGORNO-KARABAKH MUST BE NATIONWIDE

    ITAR-TASS, Russia
    July 3 2006

    BAKU, July 3 (Itar-Tass) - Baku believes that a referendum on the
    status of Nagorno-Karabakh should be nationwide, Azerbaijani Deputy
    Foreign Minister Araz Azimov told journalists on Monday.

    He pointed out that Azerbaijan's stand was "clear." "The
    Nagorno-Karabakh problem may be settled after effects of the armed
    conflict are eliminated."

    "Earlier, not only Armenians, but also Azerbaijanis resided in
    Nagorno-Karabakh," Azimov said.

    If to speak of democratic conflict settlement, the demographic
    situation in Nagorno-Karabakh as it was before the conflict waged
    should be re-established and the Azerbaijani Diaspora should be
    returned back to their homes, he said.

    As for future signing of the framework agreement on the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement during the G8 summit due in St.

    Petersburg, where the Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents will take
    part, Azimov said "such agreement should be drafted first as it does
    not exist."
