A Russian Foreign Ministry official on Thursday said that expectations
were high for Azerbaijan and Armenia to strike a peace deal at the
scheduled Kazan talks with Russia as the mediator.
"The expectations are great. It is planned to consider the integrity
of the project on the so-called basic principles of resolving the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in accordance with the agreement reached at
the upcoming summit," said Alexander Lukashevich, Russian Foreign
Ministry spokesman.
The Russian RIA Novosti wire service quoted the Foreign Ministry
official as saying that the wording of the peace deal document had
been agreed upon at meetings held in Moscow among the foreign
ministers of the three countries in April and then in June.
"It was possible to bring closer the positions on several key issues
during the (Moscow) discussions. The presidents will consider these
developments and take appropriate actions," the spokesman added.
The presidents of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia are scheduled to meet
later this month in the Russian city of Kazan. It will be their ninth
tripartite meetings on the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh. They last met in
Sochi in southern Russia.
