"The sides are discussing the proposals of the OSCE Minsk Group
on the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict, the uncoordinated
points are being discussed in a new form," Azerbaijani Presidential
Administration's senior official Ali Hasanov said referring to
Azerbaijani and Armenian president's recent Sochi meeting.
"Nothing can be said about the results yet."
Hasanov said one can not say that common understanding has been
reached on the settlement of the conflict.
"But it is a fact that the sides and mediators believe in the prospects
and potential of the negotiations. It gives ground to continue the
issue through negotiations," he said.
As regards the particular activeness of Russia in the settlement of the
conflict, Hasanov said Russia had always been active in this regard.
"Simply, Russia has recently become active within the OSCE
Minsk Group. Russia has always been involved with resolving the
Nagorno-Karabakh problem. The process is continuing in the previous
format. Russia is one of the three co-chairs, the country that can
seriously influence the developments in Armenia, Azerbaijan, South
Caucasus and Caspian region. These territories are under Russia's
geopolitical influence. Though the US is a super power, it is too
far from the South Caucasus and Caspian," he said.
