“Election procedure on self-determination of conflict zone population and the possible principles of interim status were the key issues” discussed during Armenian, Azerbaijani and Russian Presidents’ negotiations on July 18, 2009 in Moscow. Russian MFA source informed Kommersant newspaper.

Information leak from Russian Foreign Ministry seems to be logical as the statement corresponds to the basic points of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement principles published after G8 summit. That proves that maintenance of “territorial integrity” of Azerbaijan is not at least a topical issue, though it is discussed by the Presidents and OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs. It can be assumed that “territorial integrity” was not discussed, as the issue is open.
