U.S. co-chair: Armenia must return seven regions to Azerbaijan

“Five regions must be returned immediately and the remaining two with time. It can take up to five years. Moreover, international peacekeeping forces the composition of which will be determined by the sides themselves must be deployed in  the conflict zone,” Bryza said.

Under the Madrid Principles, the security of Nagorno-Karabakh population must be guaranteed and temporary status must be defined until referendum is held, he said.

He said Nagorno-Karabakh will be resolved based on three fundamental principles – territorial integrity, self-determination and non-use of force.

“The sides should find solution based on the three fundamental principles of the Helsinki Act. This includes right of population to self-determination, territorial integrity and non-use of force,” he said.
