Russian, Armenian and Azeri presidents could soon meet in Moscow in
order to discuss the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement, Russian President
Dmitry Medvedev said.
The August events showed that "any complicated issue should be resolved
on the basis of international principles," Medvedev said, adding:
"there is nothing that can bring more positive results."
Asked to comment on the state of affairs in the Nagorno-Karabakh issue,
Medvedev said: "It is hard to define the level of such talks. We are
at an advanced stage; both parties are ready for talks. I will not
comment on nuances, because this is a negotiating process."
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan confirmed that Armenia "is ready
to continue talks on the basis of the Madrid principles." "They are
very simple. They include the recognition of the principle of self-
determination and the right of the Karabakh people. We are convinced
that the Karabakh issue could be resolved on the basis of compromises
and talks," the Armenian leader said.
