No agreement on Karabakh settlement reached in St Petersburg: Armenia FMJune 22, 2016 - 17:53 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - No agreement on the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict has been reached in Saint Petersburg, Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian said Wednesday, June 22. Deputy chief of Azerbaijani presidential administration Novruz Mammadov said earlier that the parties have agreed on a stepwise settlement of the conflict. According to him, 5 regions must first be liberated, followed by another two regions, the corridor will then be clarified and Karabakh’s status will be determined. “Mammadov has never participated in negotiations, and the summit in Saint Petersburg was no exception,” Nalbandian said. “Azerbaijan’s recognition of Karabakh’s right to self-determination must form the basis of a comprehensive settlement.” According to him, Baku must unconditionally implement the agreements reached during the latest meetings in Vienna and St Petersburg, i.e. commitment to the exclusively peaceful settlement of the conflict, respect for the 1994-1995 ceasefire agreement, establishment of mechanisms for border investigations and expansion of the team of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office.
