"It is not urgent to recognize Artsakh as long as there is an
opportunity to come to regulation of the Artsakh issue through
negotiations," Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan noted in
response to a question of a parliamentarian at the National Assembly.
According to him, if the negotiation process runs in the way that
the opportunity is blocked, other variants will be discussed. The
Armenian Foreign Minister noted that today the negotiations are
running over 3 principles and 6 elements, which have been mentioned
in the statement of the U.S., French and Russian presidents voiced
in L'Aquila. It was mentioned about 3 principles and 6 elements of
the NK issue regulation, which contained the basic aspects of the
Madrid principles. "There is no other issue, conflict, about which
these 3 countries do not have the same position," Mr. Nalbandyan said.
According to him, this can be a basis of continuation of the
negotiations.
"Azerbaijan accepts only 1 from the 3 principles and in regard to the 6
elements it notes that will be ready to discuss the other 5 in case of
implementation of one," Edward Nalbandyan noted. He once more reminded
the statement of the foreign ministers of the co-chairing countries
of the OSCE Minsk group voiced in July in Almatia, according to which
all the 3 principles and elements have been worked out as an integral
proposal and one principle or element cannot be separated from the
other. Edward Nalbandyan also stressed that the foreign ministers of
56 OSCE member countries have said the same thing in their statement.
