"Azerbaijan's stance is clear: the Karabakh conflict can be resolved only by keeping the indivisibility principle of the country," Spokesman to the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Khazar Ibrahim stated.

"Status of Nagorno Karabakh can be determined only in the framework of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity. It will be very difficult to speak about determining any autonomous status till the Azeri and Armenian communities cannot live in peaceful conditions," Khazar Ibrahim underlined, the BBC Russian service reports.

In his interview to Associated Press Matthew Bryza stated that "the sides agreed on returning regions adjacent to Nagorno Karabakh, which are under the Armenian control". Meanwhile, RA MFA Acting Spokesman Vladimir Karapetyan, commenting on Bryza's statement told the PanARMENIAN.Net that Armenia's stance in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict problem is well known, and irrespective of who makes such statements and how those statements are commented in the negotiation process, we can only repeat what we have stated a lot of times. "Until the status of Nagorno Karabakh is determined, its right to self-determination is provided, an uninterrupted communication is guaranteed, the Armenian side is not going to speak about insignificant issues," Karapetyan underlined.
