MosJan Posted October 17, 2001 Report Share Posted October 17, 2001 AZERI FOREIGN MINISTER REJECTS GHUKASIAN'S PROPOSAL BAKU, OCTOBER 17, ARMENPRESS: Azerbaijani foreign minister Vilayat Quliyev has rejected a proposal by Nagorno Karabagh leader Arkady Ghukasian to start direct negotiations between Baku and Stepanakert to find an end to the decade-long conflict. Quliyev said the conflict was between Armenia and Azerbaijan and Karabagh was not a side to it. Quliyev also said that Karabagh might join the negotiations given a significant progress was reached in Armenia-Azerbaijan talks over its regulation. Quliyev also said that the OSCE Minsk group co-chairmen, including the US newly appointed envoy Rudolph Perina, tasked to handle the conflict, will arrive in the region in early November.
