Leaders of Azerbaijan, Armenia may agree on Karabakh principles -
diplomat
The possibility of a gentlemen's agreement between Baku and Yerevan
on the Nagorno Karabakh settlement principles is not ruled out by
U.S. co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk group Matthew Bryza.
In his opinion, such an agreement may be signed before the
presidential elections, Bryza told the press in Baku on Friday.
Such an agreement will bind the sides to stick to the settlement
principles after the elections in Armenia, he said.
Bryza said that at the meeting with co-chairmen in Yerevan, Armenian
President Robert Kocharian did not rule out the possibility of such a
gentlemen's agreement before elections.
Baku lost control over Nagorno Karabakh and adjacent seven districts
in a bloody Armenian-Azeri conflict in the early 1990s. The problem
is being settled with international mediation, with the mediation of
the OSCE Minsk group representing the United States, Russia and
France.
