The next round of talks between the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia on the resolution of the Karabakh problem might be held in early 2009, said chief of department of external ties of the presidential administration of Azerbaijan Novruz Mamedov, according to Interfax-Azerbaijan.

"It seems to me that the next meeting of the presidents might be held in early next year", noted Mamedov.

He said the world community is interested in the resolution of the Karabakh conflict in the framework of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.

"On the whole, in the result of intensification of regional processes and world community, Russia, Turkey, the United States, EU and other international organizations - all of them are interested in the resolution of the conflict in the framework of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and Baku's position in this direction has consolidated.

Therefore, I consider that the resolution, adopted by each international organization in this direction, must help us", noted the representative of the presidential administration.

As for Russia's role in the resolution of the conflict, Mamedov noted that he does not consider that Moscow has occupied an opposite position in the resolution of the Karabakh conflict in the framework of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.

"I think Russia attaches greater importance to the resolution of this conflict in the framework of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and norms of international law", noted Mamedov.
