Karabakh conflict settlement. "The countries' leaders registered mutual
understanding on a range of problems, the resolution of which boosts
creation of conditions for approving main principles. The meeting
participants considered the course of works carried out with the aim
of coordination of the project with basic principles," according to

gratitude to the Russian, French and U.S. leaders, the OSCE Minsk
group co-chairs, for 'their constant attention to Nagorno-Karabakh
problem' and highly praised personal efforts of the Russian President
in support of agreements.
Later on Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward Nalbandian noted that the
June 24 meeting was not a breakthrough, as Azerbaijan proved unready
to accept the final version of the basic principles suggested by the
OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs. Instead, the Azerbaijani leader attempted
to impose 10 new proposals, thus precluding the possibility of any
agreement on the issue," he added.
