    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Official Baku believes that signing of a joint
    declaration on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict between the Presidents of
    Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia in Moscow will accelerate the process
    of the conflict resolution.

    "Signing of the declaration is a historical event and is the
    beginning of a new process," said Novruz Mammadov, Head of Azerbaijan
    Presidential Administration's Foreign Relations Department.

    "If the Armenian side believes that the conflict solution is vital for
    its people, state and there is no other way of conflict settlement,
    undoubtedly the joint declaration signed in Moscow must accelerate
    the process. Taking into consideration that the Russian side, as a
    guarantee, signed the document, the declaration will facilitate the
    process," he said. "The document signed in Moscow is the result of
    14 years difficult talks. It is a unique event in the process of the
    conflict settlement."

    "The declaration shows that the conflict must be resolved on the
    basis of the principles and norms of the international law, in a
    step-by-step manner. In addition, it says that the OSCE Minsk Group
    should brisk up activities of its settlement. It may be a compass,
    since it reflects the base principles and the OSCE Minsk Group member
    countries support it," Mammadov said.

    During the November 2 meeting, the Presidents Dmitry Medvedev of
    Russia, Serzh Sargsyan of Armenia and Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan
    pledged to intensify negotiations to end the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

    The declaration envisages resolution of the conflict on the basis of
    principles and norms of the international law as well as agreements
    and documents concluded in this framework.

    "The presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia decided to continue their
    work - including at further high-profile talks - to agree on a
    political settlement to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict," Medvedev
    said. "They instructed their foreign ministers to activate the
    negotiation process, in collaboration with the co-chairs of the OSCE's
    Minsk Group."
