Azerbaijan Does Not Expect New Proposals on Karabakh from US

PanARMENIAN.Net - It is hard to expect new proposals during the Washington walks over settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Azeri FM Elmar Mammadyarov told journalists in Moscow, when commenting on coming official visit of the Azeri President to the US. "Positions of Azerbaijan that have been unchanged for 15 years, remain the same. We have always come for settling the issue in compliance with norms and principles of the international law, UN Security Council and OSCE resolutions. Undoubtedly if we want to put an end to the conflict really, so as it does not break out periodically, the solution should be based on lawfulness exclusively," the Minister said.



Mammadyarov also reported that during the coming visit of I. Aliyev to the US and the meeting with US President George Bush a wide range of issues of bilateral cooperation, as well as international and regional matters will be discussed. In the Minister's words, conflict settlement in the Caucasus will be one of the key topics at the talks. Matters of energy security, fight against terror, specifically Azerbaijan's participation in the anti-terror coalition will also be considered.
