The best policy for any country is a policy of good-neighborliness, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said at a press conference commenting on a meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian intellectuals held in Moscow.

"The more such meetings will be held the sooner it will be possible to bring peace to the region," Mr Mammadyarov said.

He said it is important for the Azerbaijani public to voice that Nagorno-Karabakh is the territory of Azerbaijan. Mr Mammadyarov believes that holding such meetings is important in terms of further strengthening of good-neighborly relations.

Mr Mammadyarov stressed that the negotiation process over Nagorno Karabakh continues and the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs will arrive in the region during the second week of March to discuss further steps.

"We believe that peace and stability will soon come to the region," Mammadyarov said.
Moscow hosted a meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian intellectuals on Wednesday, Feb.22.

The meeting discussed ways of peaceful settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Azerbaijani National Conservatory Rector Siyavush Karimi, who attended the meeting, told Trend.
