The Russian, Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents are meeting in the
capital of the Russian republic of Tatarstan, Kazan, today in another
attempt to settle the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Russia galvanized its mediatory mission in November 2008 by pushing
the trilateral contacts to the top level. In 2008, Dmitry Medvedev,
Ilham Aliyev and Serge Sargsian adopted the Moscow Declaration and
pointed out the need for resolving the conflict exclusively through
peaceful means.
Meanwhile the US President Barack Obama urged his Azerbaijani and
Armenian counterparts in the run-up to Friday's meeting to sign the
basic principles for a Nagorno-Karabakh settlement.
The armed conflict flared up after Nagorno-Karabakh, an
Armenian-populated enclave in Azerbaijan, spun out of Baku's control
following the break-up of the USSR.
