Presidents of Azerbaijan, Armenia ad Russia -Ilham Aliyev, Serzh
Sargysyan and Dmitri Medvedev on Nov. 2. This document envisages

decisions and documents. This creates favorable terms for economic
development and comprehensive cooperation in the region.
Presidents Sargsyan and Aliyev noted in the Moscow declaration that
the sides must intensify efforts to approve main principles in close
cooperation with Minsk Group co-chairs.
According to Bryza, Presidents should prepare their community to make
compromise, resulted in peace, stability and prospecting.
