Armenian delegation headed by RA President Serzh Sargsyan left for
Sochi to participate in Sargsyan-Medvedev-Aliyev trilateral meeting,
January 25, 2010. RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian is also on
the delegation, NEWS.am correspondent reports.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev was the initiator of the meeting.
Earlier three meetings in the same format were held through the
mediation of RF President. Sargsyan-Aliyev last meeting was held
in Chisinau, October 2009. According to the first meeting results,
Mayendorf declaration was adopted in Moscow on November 2, 2008 which
called the parties to restore the dialogue between the nations and
settle Karabakh conflict merely by politics. Later, the declaration
was actually disowned by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.
As NEWS.am reported previously, active preparations were made
for the Presidents' meeting with the participation of OSCE Minsk
Group Co-Chairs. They visited Yerevan and Baku and had talks with
the Presidents. OSCE MG U.S. Co-Chair Robert Bradtke arrived in
Stepanakert and acquainted himself with the view of NKR leadership.
Recently, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev met with Head of the
Administration of RF President Sergey Naryshkin within the framework of
Russian-Azerbaijani forum on humanitarian cooperation. However, this
did not prevent Azerbaijani side to make again bellicose statements,
jeopardizing meeting efficiency on the threshold.
Sargsyan-Aliyev Jan. 25 meeting will be the first in 2010. January 22,
RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian stated that no breakthrough in
Karabakh conflict settlement is expected in 2010. According to him,
the main objective in 2010 is to maintain last year's positive momentum
on the matter. Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents met 6 times in
2009. The talks should continue and if Azerbaijan changes its position
to more constructive, progress will be achieved, Nalbandian outlined.
NEWS.am correspondent from Sochi will inform of the details and
results of Sargsyan-Aliyev-Medvedev talks.
