26 May 2007 10:10 (UTC +04:00)

Negotiations on the basic principles are under way. The principles refer to the territorial integrity [of Azerbaijan], withdrawal of Armenian forces and repatriation of internally displaced people into their homes,â€ said Azerbaijanâ€™s Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov, APA reports.
He added that Armenia should comprehend that resolution of the conflict within the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan is unavoidable.
He noted that Armenia will categorically return the seven regions adjacent Nagorno Karabakh.
â€œSimply, it requires time. Withdrawing forces from these regions, clearing from mines and rehabilitating infrastructure are necessary points,â€ he noted.
Mr. Mammadyarov said security in Lachin Corridor is utmost important and they have reached agreement on stationing peacekeepers in this zone.
â€œSimply, the issue how to compose the peacekeeping forces remains open. Discussed issues are not to include OSCE Minsk Group and South Caucasus countries in the composition of peacekeeping forces,â€ he concluded. /APA/
