Azeri presidential aide hails "positive result" of Astrakhan talks on Karabakh
[Presenter] Another factor that increases hopes after the presidents'
trilateral meeting [referring to the 27 October meeting between the
Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents in Astrakhan mediated by Russian
President Dmitriy Medvedev] was Russian President Dmitriy Medvedev's
statement that agreement could be reached on the general principles of
settlement of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict before the OSCE summit in
Astana on 1-2 December. In general, the meeting has been assessed
positively both by Azerbaijan and Armenia.
[Passage omitted: Armenian Foreign Minister Edvard Nalbandyan praised
the Astrakhan meeting as "important and useful"]
[Correspondent] The director of the public and political department of
the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration, Ali Hasanov, highly
praised this meeting mediated by the Russian president. He also
believes that the resolution adopted at the meeting is a milestone in
the negotiations to settle the conflict.
[Hasanov] We believe that any means, any form and any format should be
used to settle the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagornyy
Karabakh. Any suggestion that can bring us closer to a settlement
should be considered. Yesterday's meeting was what I have mentioned as
the format of direct talks mediated by the Russian president. As you
saw yesterday, the presidents of the two countries signed a joint
resolution as a positive result of these meetings.
