There is progress in settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict: Azerbaijani FM

"The co-chairmen will arrive in the region to prepare possible meeting of presidents in Moscow in September. I think there is certain progress in settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh problem. Some hopes appeared after presidents met in Moscow," the minister said.

Mammadyarov said that several principles of the agreement were disclosed and work over these principles continues. "Armenian troops must leave occupied territories. Afterward, question on return of refugees to their lands will be raised," the minister said.

Mammadyarov said big funds are required to restore land and infrastructure. This issue is expected to be discussed with the EU, he said.

"When I say intensifying process of settlement of the conflict, first, I mean Russia's intensification in this process," Mammadyarov said.
