We urge the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan to resolve the few differences remaining between them and finalize their agreement on these Basic Principles, which will outline a comprehensive settlement.

Fact sheet

The ministers of the US, France, and Russia presented a preliminary version of the Basic Principles for a settlement to Armenia and Azerbaijan in November 2007 in Madrid.

The Basic Principles reflect a reasonable compromise based on the Helsinki Final Act principles of Non-Use of Force, Territorial Integrity, and the Equal Rights and Self-Determination of Peoples.

The Basic Principles call for inter alia: return of the territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh to Azerbaijani control

-- an interim status for Nagorno-Karabakh providing guarantees for security and self-governance, -- a corridor linking Armenia to Nagorno-Karabakh;

-- future determination of the final legal status of Nagorno-Karabakh through a legally binding expression of will;

--the right of all internally displaced persons and refugees to return to their former places of residence; and

-- international security guarantees that would include a peacekeeping operation.

The endorsement of these Basic Principles by Armenia and Azerbaijan will allow the drafting of a comprehensive settlement to ensure a future of peace, stability, and prosperity for Armenia and Azerbaijan and the broader region.
