The next trilateral meeting would not be held until Moscow got
guarantees of all the conflicting parties' willingness to put their
signatures to the Kazan document.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev plans to hold a meeting with his
Azeri counterpart Ilham Aliyev in Sochi, on Aug. 9. The meeting will
focus on the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process, reports Moskovskiye
Novosti.
"If the talks prove a success, the next step is likely to be Dmitry
Medvedev's meeting with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, with a
trilateral summit to follow," the source reports.
The Russian, Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders held their latest
meeting in Kazan. The summit failed. The reason was that Russian and
Armenian diplomats overestimated the possible political concessions
official Baku was ready for. "Medvedev had to promptly correct his
subordinates' mistakes. He addressed a letter to Sargsyan and Aliyev,
wherein he presented his view on the settlement process," the source
writes. The Russian president also considered some of Azerbaijan's
arguments reasonable.
"No wonder, therefore, that Azerbaijan was the first to respond. Azeri
Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov paid a visit to Moscow in mid-July
and handed Aliyev's reply letter over to his Russian counterpart
Sergey Lavrov." The Armenian side responded later, the source reported,
quoting the political analyst Alexey Vlasov.
"According to some information, Azerbaijan agreed to the arguments
contained in Dmitry Medvedev's letter. As to Sargsyan's response to
his message, it remains unknown," the expert told Moskovskiye Novosti.
That is the reason why the Russian leader first held a meeting with his
Azeri counterpart. It had been stated that the next trilateral meeting
would not be held until Moscow got guarantees of all the conflicting
parties' willingness to put their signatures to the Kazan document,
the expert said.
