PanARMENIAN.Net - Upon completion of the meeting with EC President
Herman Van Rompuy in Brussels, Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev
said that recent statements by heads of states of OSCE Minsk Group
co-chairing countries were encouraging.
As Azerbaijan President noted, the leaders specifically stressed
the unacceptability of status quo, as well as the fact that the
conflict must be solved on the basis of Helsinki Final Act, combining
the principles of territorial integrity and people's right for
self-determination, which, as Aliyev noted, are not mutually exclusive.
Dwelling on June 24 meeting in Kazan, Aliyev noted that Azerbaijani
side expects Armenia to demonstrate constructive approach, stressing
that Azerbaijan wished the conflict to be settled as soon as possible.
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs came out with a statement
with regard to Kazan meeting of Armenian, Azerbaijani and Russian
Presidents.
"The meeting between President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan and President
of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev with participation of President of Russia
Dmitri Medvedev is designed to serve as a landmark in Nagorno Karabakh
conflict settlement. We expect Baku and Yerevan to react constructively
on the joint statement made on May 26 in Deauville by the Presidents
of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries, which contains a call
upon the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan to demonstrate political
will and finalize the basic principles (of a peace agreement) during
the forthcoming summit in June," the statement of the RF Foreign
Ministry runs.
