    Yanukovych: Ukraine's position on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict based on
    respect for Azerbaijan's territorial integrity
    Ukraine's position on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement remains
    unchanged, and is based on respect for Azerbaijan's sovereignty and
    territorial integrity, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has said.

    "We think that ensuring peace, security and stability in the OSCE area
    is a key factor in promoting the economic development of countries in
    general and improving the welfare of their citizens. In turn, I would
    like to assure that Ukraine's position on the Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict settlement remains unchanged, and is based on respect for the
    sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan within its
    internationally recognized borders," he said in an interview with
    Azerbaijan's Trend news agency published on Thursday.

    Yanukovych said that the positions of Ukraine and Azerbaijan on many
    issues of regional policy were based on similar approaches.

    He said that they concerned the need to resolve this and other
    "frozen" conflicts exclusively through peace talks, on the basis of
    the principles and norms of international law.

    "Ukraine will assume the OSCE's chairmanship in 2013. I want to
    underline that in this role we will render the necessary assistance to
    the settlement of 'frozen' conflicts. This also concerns the OSCE
    Minsk Group's activities. We hope that the political will of the sides
    in the conflict will give the possibility to reach agreement on
    certain principles, on the basis of which a path will be found to
    resolve the conflict," Yanukovych said.

    The Ukrainian president is on an official visit to Azerbaijan on April 28.
