Time has come for serious progress in Karabakh peace process - Azeri official
Baku hopes that the presidents of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia will
be able to achieve positive results when discussing ways to settle the
conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh at a meeting in Kazan, Russia, on June
24.
"We place high hopes on the meeting of the presidents of Azerbaijan,
Armenia and Russia in Kazan," the director of the Azeri presidential
administration's social and political affairs department, Ali Gasanov,
told journalists on Monday.
"We think that the time has come to make serious progress in the
settlement of the Karabakh conflict," he said.
The upcoming meeting will benefit from a statement on the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which was adopted by the presidents of the
member countries of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in
Europe's (OSCE) Minsk Group on the sidelines of the G8 summit in
Deauville, France, in May, Gasanov said.
"Their commitment to finding a solution to the conflict as soon as
possible is obvious," he said.
The OSCE Minsk Group member states called on the sides in the conflict
to step up their efforts.
"In our opinion, given the spirit of this statement, certain progress
could be made at the meeting in Kazan," Gasanov said.
