[Presenter] Yet another meeting will be held between the Azerbaijani
and Armenian presidents in Moscow tomorrow. At the meeting they are
expected to discuss the basic principles put forward in the settlement
of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict.
Serious progress is expected to be achieved in the settlement of the
problem at this sixth meeting between the presidents.
[Correspondent over video of archive footage of meeting between
presidents] Noticeably increased diplomatic activity in the settlement
of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict and the latest cautiously optimistic
statements make it possible to say that some results may be achieved in
the Moscow talks. At least because almost all the leading world powers
are seeking close cooperation with the regional leader - Azerbaijan
- in order to secure their geopolitical and other interests in the
South Caucasus.
Against the background of these interests, the fact that the Baku
government is putting forward its own demands and demanding that it
be settled is accepted as natural.
On the other hand, Azerbaijan's successful foreign policy has
frustrated Armenian occupiers. Armenian political experts also note
that over the past period Yerevan's steps look pointless in the context
of the Baku government's serious achievements in the international
arena in the Nagornyy Karabakh issue.
[Passage omitted: more quotes from Armenian, Russian experts]
Some political experts say that Russia has no other choice than
take on the settlement of the conflict in any form because if the
problem is not resolved at Moscow's initiative, America, the European
Union, Turkey and other countries may become active in the conflict
settlement which may strike a serious blow to Russia's international
and regional image.
