`The President of the Republic had stated in Strasbourg that it would
be possible to expect positive results, progress in Kazan if
Azerbaijan did not propose new amendments.
Yet, the Kazan summit didn't achieve a breakthrough, because
Azerbaijan was not ready to accept the final version of the Basic
Principles proposed by the three Co-Chairs,' Armenian Foreign Minister
Edward Nalbandian said, commenting on the results of the Kazan
meeting.
'In Deauville the Co-Chair countries had urged the Presidents to come
to an agreement in Kazan. President Obama in his phone conversations
with the Presidents had made the same call. The President of France
Sarkozy had sent messages to the Presidents, as well.
Despite it the Azerbaijani side proposed approximately a dozen of
amendments, and that is the reason why the Kazan meeting did not prove
to be a breakthrough,' the Minister stated.
'In any case, I think the meeting was useful in the sense that the
detailed discussions continued. And the important point is that
President Medvedev, who made a great input in this process during the
last three years, expressed willingness to continue his efforts
towards according the principles and achieving a final agreement over
them.
This was already the 12th meeting between the parties during the last
three years. But during this last year Azerbaijan has, in fact,
repeated this scenario of coming up with new amendments and proposals
at least four times. This is the reality.
Nonetheless, we will continue the negotiations, because there is no
other way for the settlement. It is possible to solve the conflict
only through peaceful means and negotiations,' Minister Nalbandian
concluded.
