Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov will meet with the co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group on March 5 in Paris, Mammadyarov briefed the media today.

"If the co-chairmen in Paris offer us new proposals, Azerbaijan is ready to consider and discuss them," said the minister. 

According to Mammadyarov, over two years, Azerbaijan has been working on the Madrid principles. 
"Azerbaijan's way in resolving the conflict is clear," the minister added.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts. Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. - are currently holding the peace negotiations.

Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the occupied territories.
