YEREVAN. – Nagorno-Karabakh is ready for talks with Azerbaijan to jointly manage water resources.

Earlier the question of joint use of Sarsang reservoir was raised by OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair James Warlick.

“It is good that the American Co-Chair also thinks that use of Sarsang reservoir may become one of the basis for cooperation between two independent states Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan,” spokesperson for NKR president Davit Babayan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

Babayan said it may become one of confidence-building measures and reiterated Karabakh's readiness to consider the issue of joint management of water resources.
 
“But, Azerbaijan must also show the interest. It must be a mutually beneficial process,” he said.

The ways to use water resources, what Azerbaijan can give in exchange for water – all the technical issues can be settled during political talks between Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan, Babayan added.
