Azerbaijan has not received any proposals on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement from Washington, Azeri Deputy FM Araz Azimov stated. In his words, no official document or draft was presented to Azerbaijan. "Some ideas on establishment of normal relations with Armenia for putting an end to the military conflict were advanced," he said.

According to Azeri Deputy FM, "the liberation of the Azeri territories" will become the first step in the conflict settlement process. "Azerbaijan is not an adherent to war. We are interested in continuation of peaceful talks on the problem resolution," the diplomat remarked.

When touching upon the meetings of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs that have become more frequent recently the Azimov underscored he expects little progress from the meetings. "In the near future the mediators will pay a visit to Yerevan and then to Baku. The purpose of their visits is to determine further steps after the Rambouillet meeting," he said.
