Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said that as there many issues have been agreed on, now is the right time to solve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Trend reports. He was commenting on the alleged road plan, mentioned by the U.S. Ambassador Matthew Bryza, the OSCE Minks Group Co-chair.
However we should still continue talks on the more difficult issues, the Minister stressed.
Mammadyarov said that the plan involves defining the methods on the possible signing of an agreement. I do not regard it as a new principle of the negotiation process.
With regards to the opportunities for dispatching the Azerbaijani peacemakers to Lebanon, the Minister said that the issue should be studied separately. It is necessary to define the situation in Lebanon, as the question concerning the mandate of peacemakers has not been solved yet. I cannot say that Azerbaijan will dispatch its peacemakers there, but we are dealing with the issue, Mammadyarov stated.
