Vladimir Karapetyan: "The main thing for us is to determine Nagorno Karabakh's status"

Karapetyan said his country supports resolving the problem in package form.

"The proposals for the resolution of the conflict acquire package character, they cannot be discussed separately," Karapetyan said.

Matthew Bryza stated that the parties to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict are negotiating on the items of the framework agreement regarding Armenian armed forces' withdrawal from Azerbaijani territories. The co-chair said the framework agreement will enable to normalize economic relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

He noted this agreement is about deploying peacekeepers in the conflict zone, international economic support and several other issues.

"The agreement also envisages holding of a referendum in Nagorno Karabakh after all these issues are completely solved. I call on the Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents to sign the framework treaty on the settlement of the conflict. There is a need to demonstrate political will for that," Mr.Bryza said.
