OSCE MG calls on Karabakh conflict parties to accept basic principles
The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs are making efforts so that the sides in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict accept basis principles, Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov said.
"Preparation for more comprehensive agreement will begin once basic principles are accepted. Only after this, talks can be continued and they will become more regular," he said.
He said Azerbaijan will deploy forces in five "occupied regions" after they are liberated in an effort to ensure population's security. "Forces of the Minsk Group countries will not participate in the peacekeeping mission in any form. This issue has been coordinated in advance," he said.
He also said that opening of the Armenian-Turkish border is possible only after the Nagorno Karabakh conflict is resolved.
Turkey will not benefit by opening the border with Armenia if there is no progress in Karabakh talks, according to him.
"Azerbaijan will never be left alone. All processes and regional projects take basis from Azerbaijan," Azimov said, TrendNews reported.
