PanARMENIAN.Net - French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe met with his
Azerbaijani counterpart Elmar Mammadyarov in Paris to discuss Nagorno
Karabakh conflict settlement.
The parties specifically dwelled on conflict settlement prospects
after Kazan-hosted Armenia-Russia-Azerbaijan presidential meeting.
Despite optimistic forecasts and encouragement, the June 24 meeting
between the Armenian, Russian and Azerbaijani Presidents ended in a
statement saying that the heads of state "noted the reaching of mutual
understanding on a number of questions, whose resolution helps create
conditions to approve the basic principles."
The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan praised the OSCE Minsk Group
co-chair countries for their continuous attention to the problem and
once again thanked Russian President for his personal endeavors to
bring the positions of the conflicting sides closer.
Later on Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward Nalbandian noted that
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.
