“Azerbaijan completely accepts new version of Madrid principles. But there are some elements there that we are not satisfied with them”, said Minister of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan Elmar Mammadyarov at the joint press conference with the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Kanat Saudabayev.
Mammadyarov said he had phone conversation with Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov and he told him that Armenia has not sent its proposals on uncoordinated points of Madrid principles yet. “Regarding Azerbaijan, we are completely satisfied with the document because it considers stage-by-stage solution to the conflict. It contains withdrawal of Armenian troops from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, restoration of all communications, return of internally displaced persons, security of the people living and returning to Karabakh, temporarily status of the Armenian population there and determination of final status together with the Azerbaijani community later.
Mammadyarov said President Ilham Aliyev made statements describing Azerbaijan’s position for many times and noted that Azerbaijan wanted Azerbaijani and Armenian communities of Nagorno Karabakh to co-exist within the highest autonomous status.
