PanARMENIAN.Net - The meeting between Russian President Dmitry
Medvedev and his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev is focusing on
expansion of bilateral ties, Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement,
global economy-related as well as regional issues.
As the Russian leader noted, Karabakh settlement is the main issue
on agenda. "I'd like to have a sincere conversation to determine
further steps, based on results of trilateral meeting in Kazan,
as well as previous talks," RIA Novosti cited Medvedev as saying.
Azerbaijan President, in turn, thanked the Russian leader for efforts
towards Karabakh conflict settlement and providing regional security.
"Previous talks on Karabakh considerably approximated the conflicting
sides' positions. Azerbaijan takes major interest in conflict
settlement," Aliyev said.
The Russian leader is expected to meet Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan on the sidelines of August 12 informal OSCE summit.
During the June 24 meeting in Kazan, the Presidents of Armenia,
Azerbaijan and Russia failed to sign an agreement on basic principles
of Karabakh conflict settlement.
As Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian noted later, despite
the OSCE MG co-chairs' efforts, Azerbaijan was not ready to accept
the final version of basic principles, presenting ten new amendments
at the last moment.
On July 8, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov handed over a
personal message and proposals of RF President Dmitry Medvedev to
Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders, who have already offered replies.
