Edward Nalbandian
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian told a news conference today that Armenia had submitted to the OSCE Minsk Group mediators its proposals on the uncoordinated points in the Madrid principles for a conflict settlement, ARMENIA Today reported.
The minister urged journalists not to make a fuss about it. He said the submission of the proposals was a simple work procedure.
"This is an ordinary process that will continue until the positions of the sides are reconciled as far as possible," Nalbandian said.
At a trilateral meeting of the Azerbaijani, Armenian and Russian presidents in Sochi on 25 January, it was agreed that Baku and Yerevan should submit proposals on uncoordinated points of the Madrid principles for a settlement within two weeks.
Baku has not reported submitting its proposals, but Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said on 15 February that Azerbaijan accepted "in general" the updated basic principles of a Karabakh settlement.
