    AZERBAIJAN: MEETING ON NAGORNO-KARABAKH "USEFUL"

    MOSCOW. Aug 1 (Interfax) - An Armenian-Azeri meeting on Friday as
    part of talks to settle the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict was "useful,"
    but "a breakthrough is still a long way down the line," the Azeri
    foreign minister said.

    "The meeting was useful, we decided to hold more negotiations, but
    a breakthrough is still a long way down the line," Elmar Mammadyarov
    said in a comment on his meeting with Armenian Foreign Minister Edvard
    Nalbandian, held in Moscow.

    Mammadyarov said that, at their meeting, he and Nalbandian looked
    at chances to remove "stumbling blocks that are obstacles at the
    negotiations."

    The Armenian minister said he and his Azeri counterpart had discussed
    how to move forward "on the basis of proposals that the co- chairmen
    of the Minsk Group of the OSCE put forward in Madrid."

    The Minsk Group of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in
    Europe is a body co-headed by Russia, the United States and France
    and appointed to mediate in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

    Nalbandian also expressed the belief that there is a chance of
    him reconvening with Mammadyarov at the next UN General Assembly
    session. "There are sensitive issues, they should be handled
    cautiously. We are trying to create an adequate environment for
    negotiations to continue," the Armenian minister said.
