DRAFT OF FUTURE PEACE TREATY ON SETTLEMENT OF KARABAKH
CONFLICT WILL HARDLY PREPARED
YEREVAN, JULY 12. ARMINFO. The draft of the future peace treaty on
settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will hardly be prepared
by the meeting of the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Kazan
in August. As Baku's mass media inform, Russian Cochairmen of OSCE
Minsk Group Yuri Merzlyakov stated during the news conference in
Baku, Tuesday.
"We are now working over formulation of principles of the settlement.
The process of formation of the treaty after their agreement will
last several months. And it would be unreal to say about the
possibility of its preparation by the meeting in Kazan", the Russian
diplomat said. His American counterpart Steven Mann said "The peace
treaty may be prepared both within the few next months and within the
next century. In Mann's opinion, the terms of its preparation depend
on the political will of the leadership of the countries and desire
of the people. The french cochairman mentioned that the Minsk group
is only a mediator, and reaching peace depends on just the
presidents. In the opinion of the French diplomat, the parliamentary
elections in Azerbaijan in Nov 6 may have positive influence on the
peaceful process. The mediators also informed that during the
negotiations with the leadership of Azerbaijan they had discussed the
issue of opening of communications between the main territory of
Azerbaijan and Nakhichevan via Armenia and Karabakh. The cochairmen
will leave Baku for Yerevan and Stepanakert, where they will hold
negotiations.
