Azerbaijan stands for substantive talks to change the existing status quo in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the Azerbaijani foreign minister, Elmar Mammadyarov, said at a meeting with his Georgian counterpart Mikheil Janelidze in Tbilisi.
Mammadyarov added that the international community, member-states of the OSCE Minsk Group consider preservation of the status quo in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict as unacceptable and inconsistent.
"The Armenian troops must be withdrawn from the occupied Azerbaijani territories, as required by the UN Security Council’s resolutions and it is necessary to put an end to the military occupation to achieve progress in the conflict settlement," said Mammadyarov cited by the Azerbaijani foreign ministry as saying.
“The peace and stability will be restored in the region as a result of the settlement of the conflict,” Trend cited Mammadyarov as saying.
