    The Presidents of the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Azerbaijan
    and the Russian Federation, meeting on November 2, 2008, in Moscow,
    at the invitation of the President of the Russian Federation,

    Having held substantive discussions in a constructive spirit on the
    state and prospects for political settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict through a continuation of direct dialogue between Armenia
    and Azerbaijan through the mediation of Russia, the USA and France
    as co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group,

    1. Declare that they will facilitate improvement of the situation
    in the South Caucasus and establish stability and security in the
    region through political settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
    based on the principles of international law and the decisions and
    documents approved within this framework, thus creating favourable
    conditions for economic growth and all-round cooperation in the region.

    2. Affirm the importance of having the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk
    Group continue their mediation efforts, including based on the outcome
    of the meeting between the parties in Madrid on November 29, 2007,
    and subsequent discussions on further steps to agree on the basic
    principles for political settlement.

    3. Agree that peace settlement should be accompanied by legally binding
    guarantees for every aspect and stage of the settlement process.

    4. Note that the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia have agreed
    to continue work, including through further contacts at the highest
    level, on reaching a political settlement to the conflict and have
    instructed the heads of their respective foreign ministries to work
    together with the co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group to activate
    the negotiation process.

    5. Consider it important to encourage the establishment of conditions
    for carrying out confidence-building measures in the context of work
    on a peace settlement.
