Baku â€“ APA. â€œI will not reveal a big secret if I say that the project of basic principles starts with words â€œArmenian and Azerbaijani presidents decided to start a work on peace treatyâ€, then the principles which we are trying to coordinate and which will enter to the peace treaty are enumerated. There Not all of these principles are used by consensusâ€, said Russian Foreign Minster Sergey Lavrov at the press conference jointly held with his Azerbaijani counterpart Elmar Mammadyarov. He said that according to the co-chairsâ€™ opinion, the coordination of this political document is very important for further work on peace treaty: â€œThis document has a considerable number of cases which will enter to the agreement. But there are several other cases â€“ though their number is very little, they have the decisive significance. The work is being conducted on these casesâ€.

Mammadyarov said that it is needed to continue the discussion of the problem without any hysterics: â€œThe principles which are being discussed now are really a political document and do not include the legal obligations. I consider that we must start the discussion of peace treaty. The time is right for itâ€.

Mammadyarov delivered Azerbaijani presidentâ€™s response to the Russian president during his visit to Moscow.
