PanARMENIAN.Net - The editor-in-chief of Vestnik Kavkaza information
analytical agency Alexei Vlasov believes it too early to summarize
the results of Sochi-hosted meeting between Russian and Azerbaijani
Presidents, the tone of Baku and Moscow -issued statements being
rather restrained.
"We have to wait until August 12 for the meeting between Russian and
Armenian Presidents Dmitry Medvedev and Serzh Sargsyan at the CSTO
summit to clarify the actual situation," Trend News cited Vlasov
as saying.
However, the expert refused to give specific forecasts, comparing
the course of the Armenian-Azerbaijani talks to the unstable and
unpredictable state of the international markets.
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.
