    RA PRESIDENT: MEDVEDEV ADDRESSES HIS VISION ON KARABAKH SETTLEMENT TO PARTIES

    PanARMENIAN.Net - "In Kazan, we really could make a breakthrough in
    Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement, but, regretfully, it did not
    happen," Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said.

    He reminded that in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of
    Europe, before the summit, he had stated that there may be a
    breakthrough in Kazan, if Azerbaijan does not make new claims.

    "Regretfully, in Kazan official Baku showed the same conduct as during
    the last year and a half. Azerbaijan carried in about 10 new changes
    to the existing document. All of us know that any alternation in the
    document will require changes in other points and sub-points," The
    Armenian leader said commenting on the Kazan meeting and presenting
    his view on future of the process.

    He reminded that this scenario has repeated at least 4 times within
    the last 15 months. He thinks that this time the chance was omitted,
    however, according to the President, "this does not mean the end of
    negotiations, but it means that we have lost a period before a new
    meeting." "The Russian President and Minsk Group co-chars asserted
    their intention to continue efforts in this issue, and the President
    of Russia told me yesterday on the phone that he had already addressed
    his vision in a written form. I think we shall receive it soon, and
    we'll see how to move on," Mr.Sargsyan said.

    The summit between Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia in Kazan on June 24
    completed without an agreement on basic principles of Nagorno Karabakh
    conflict settlement. "The countries' leaders registered mutual
    understanding on a range of problems, the resolution of which boosts
    creation of conditions for approving main principles. The meeting
    participants considered the course of works carried out with the aim
    of coordination of the project with basic principles," according to
    the statement. The Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan expressed
    gratitude to the Russian, French and U.S. leaders, the OSCE Minsk
    group co-chairs, for 'their constant attention to Nagorno-Karabakh
    problem' and highly praised personal efforts of the Russian President
    in support of agreements.

    Later on Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward Nalbanian noted that the
    June 24 meeting was not a breakthrough, as Azerbaijan proved unready
    to accept the final version of the basic principles suggested by the
    OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs. Instead, the Azerbaijani leader attempted
    to impose 10 new proposals, thus precluding the possibility of any
    agreement on the issue," he added.
