Mammadyarov:a rapid withdrawal of the occupying forces from Azerbaijani territories is necessary

The latest events  on the frontline have shown the inapplicability of the notion of "frozen conflict" to the Karabakh conflict, said Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov. In his view it is more appropriate to use the concept of "conflict, which requires speedy resolution."

Today at a press conference at the end of the trilateral meeting of the Foreign Ministers of Azerbaijan, Russia and Iran, Mammadyarov  stated about the  continuation of  the work on the proposals on the conflict settlement proposed in the middle of last year by Lavrov.

"We are working  on the offers put forward in the middle of last year by Sergey Lavrov.

Someone calls this frozen conflict. But it is a conflict that requires an early settlement," said Mammadyarov.

Mammadyarov believes that an indispensable condition for the settlement is the withdrawal of Armenian forces from the occupied territories. After that may be considered security issues, and others. -06D-
