[Correspondent] If we achieve what the peoples of Azerbaijan and
Armenia want, it will be possible to achieve a lot for the region's
future and to restore residential areas and communications. This view

years. This depends on the will of the two countries' leaders and on
the desire of the peoples. The governments of the two countries have
reached this process and it makes it possible to achieve immediate
results. The co-chairs will go to Armenia today to continue the talks
there.
