The Foreign Minister of Armenia, Edward Nalbandian and the Deputy
Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan, Mahmud Mammadguliyev, gave a joint
press conference after the sitting of the Council of Foreign Ministers
of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization.
"The negotiations on Nagorno Karabakh are underway between Armenia,
Azerbaijan and Nagorno Karabakh within the framework of the OSCE Minsk
Group and with the support of the Co-Chairs. There is no other format
of negotiations. Turkey does not act as a mediator in the settlement
process," the Armenian Foreign Minister declared.
According to Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister, Turkey is a member
of the OSCE and a serious player in the region.
"Azerbaijan's position is as follows: we welcome the efforts of any
country towards the settlement of the Karabakh conflict. We will accept
any real and concrete proposal that would contribute to the solution
of the issue. As for Turkey's suggestion, we will definitely accept it
if it turns out to be suitable to Azerbaijan." Mahmud Mammadguliyev
added also that the issue should be solved within the framework of
the norms of international law.
The electronic and print media have been writing over the past two
days that the Foreign Ministers of Armenia and Turkey are going to
sign an agreement on the normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations
in Yerevan. Edward Nalbandian informed that Armenia and Turkey have
no intention to sign any document today.
