PanARMENIAN.Net - A member of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia
(RPA) commented on Kazan- hosted Armenia-Russia-Azerbaijan presidential
meeting on Karabakh.
As Rafik Petrosyan told a news conference in Armenia, "it wasn't a
breakthrough meeting, yet not a complete failure either. Both before
and after the meeting, Azeri side showed restraint, as the leaders
of OSCE MG co-chairing states urged the sides to come to an agreement."
"The international community realizes it's time Karabakh became
involved in negotiations," he said, specifically noting that in a
phone conversation with Armenian President, U.S. President Obama
stressed the factor of Armenian, Azerbaijani and Karabakh societies
as well. "Unfortunately, President Aliyev will not yield its position,
only agreeing to Karabakh autonomy as a part of Azerbaijan. In current
circumstances, the international community should put more pressure
on Azerbaijan," Petrosyan said.
The June 24 meeting between Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia completed
without an agreement on basic principles of Nagorno Karabakh conflict
settlement. The parties stated the progress on the way to this goal,
the statement on the Kazan summit results runs. "The countries' leaders
registered mutual understanding on a range of problems, the resolution
of which boosts creation of conditions for approving main principles,"
according to the statement. It is also said in the document that the
meeting participants considered the course of works carried out with
the aim of coordination of the project with basic principles.
