PanARMENIAN.Net - Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) parliamentary
group member Hamlet Harutyunyan has low expectations for
Armenia-Azerbaijan-Russia presidential meeting on the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict settlement.
The parliamentarian is certain that Azerbaijan will not take
constructive position during talks in Kazan.
`Clearly, Azerbaijan won't agree to constructive steps in conflict
settlement without pressure from international organizations,
including the European Union,' the MP said.
Harutyunyan stressed the importance of strict observation of ceasefire
to be discussed in Kazan. He reminded that the ceasefire agreement was
singed by Karabakh representative as well.
The Presidents of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia - Serzh Sargsyan,
Ilham Aliyev and Dmitry Medvedev - are slated to meet on June 25 in
the Russian city of Kazan, the next in a series of trilateral meetings
on the Karabakh conflict settlement.
There are certain expectations with respect to the meeting, taking
into consideration the Deauville statement adopted by the leaders of
the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries, who said `the time has
arrived for all the sides to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict to take a
decisive step towards a peaceful settlement. Further delay [in the
settlement] would only call into question the commitment of the sides
to reach an agreement.'
