OREANDA-NEWS. November 11, 2009. An agreement on another meeting between presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia, Ilham Aliyev and Serzh Sargsyan respectively, at the end of this month has been reached.

The minister of foreign affairs of Azerbaijan, Elmar Mammadyarov, says that both leaders’ consent on their meeting in one of the European cities has been already received.

“The precise venue of the upcoming meeting will be known only in several days. The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs are working over that,” the FM said.

In addition, there were made no new proposals within the framework of the Madrid principles of Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno Garabagh conflict.

“There are not any fresh proposals. We have been discussing these issues for the last five years. Conflict settlement is hampered as the Armenian party started returning again to discussion of earlier achieved arrangements.

Under such conditions it is difficult to conduct negotiations, and that is why when the MG co-chairs were visiting the region, Baku in particular, we informed them again that official Baku does not intend to continue high-level meetings for the sake of imitation of the negotiation process,” the minister said.

Since 1994 the parties have been applying ceasefire regime. Following the conflict Armenia has occupied 20% of Azerbaijani territory and evicted 1 million people from their residence sites.
