PanARMENIAN.Net - The head of the foreign affairs department at
Azerbaijan's Presidential Administration Novruz Mamedov commented on
Sochi-hosted meeting between Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and
his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev.
As Mamedov stated, during the meeting and negotiations initiated by
Russian President, the parties to Karabakh conflict approximated their
positions on a number of issues in accordance with Madrid Principles.
As the official noted, negotiations on Karabakh settlement must be
continued, Aze.az reported.
The meeting between Russian President and his Azerbaijani counterpart
was held on August 9 in Sochi.
As the Russian leader noted, Karabakh settlement was 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," Medvedev said.
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.
