    BREAK-THROUGH IN NEGOTIATION PROCESS NOT TO COME SOON: MINISTER

    Russia, Moscow, 1 August /Trend News corr. R.Agayev/ There
    is understanding between Azerbaijan and Armenia regarding peace
    settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, but a break-through will
    not come soon, Azerbaijan's Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said
    at a briefing in Moscow on 1 August.

    Mammadyarov and his Armenian counterpart Edward Nalbandyan
    met in Moscow on 1 August to discuss basic principles of the
    Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict settlement.

    "We discussed how to overpass the stumbling blocks in settlement of
    the conflict," said Mammadyarov.

    According to Azerbaijani Minister, negotiations were intensive and
    useful. The sides agreed to continue the talks.

    According to Armenian Foreign Minister Nalbandyan, next meeting
    between the ministers may take place in New-York within the session
    of the UN General Assembly, or earlier.

    Nalbandyan said the negotiations were constructive. "We keep on
    discussing to bring together our positions. Understanding is the main
    thing between the sides. The more it is, the better," said Nalbandyan.

    The conflict between the two countries of the South Caucasus began
    in 1988 due to Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Since
    1992, Armenian Armed Forces have occupied 20% of Azerbaijan including
    the Nagorno-Karabakh region and its seven surrounding districts. In
    1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement at which
    time the active hostilities ended. The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk
    Group (Russia, France, and the US) are currently holding peaceful
    negotiations.
