Baku: Karabakh status and Lachin corridor issues not coordinated yet

PanARMENIAN.Net - Official Baku announced that both Azerbaijan and Armenia still fail to agree on the key issues in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement process.



"The status of Nagorno Karabakh and Lachin corridor as well deployment of peacekeeping forces have not been coordinated yet," said Novruz Mammadov, Head of the International Relations Department at the Azerbaijani President's Office.



"When in Yerevan, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Baku and Yerevan managed to agree on several principles. The statement caused a stir, like other statements of the kind made by the sides earlier. The point is that the conflict is being resolved step by step and the agreements achieved earlier can be implemented only in case the positions on key issues harmonize," he said.



"It is not easy to disclose the coordinated points and there is no need to do so, since it can damage the ongoing process, according to him.



"The issues under discussion are most important ones. Their coordination will affect other provisions," Mammadov said, Trend reports.
