MOSCOW. - Negotiation process, which is the basis of Nagorno-Karabakh
peace process, runs very intensively. The basic principles on Karabakh
are being discussed, which should serve for basis for further
elaboration of peace agreement, OSCE Minsk Group Russian Co-Chair
Igor Popov said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
He stated that three meetings were held last year during which the
Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents could fix positions on the issues
causing disagreements. They are not much, as compared to the number
of previously arranged issues, but they are too complicated.
"Besides, Sargsyan and Aliyev stated their intentions in Sochi this
January to accelerate achievement of an agreement on Basic Principles,
taking into account what has been recorded so far.
The position testifies to the fact that the sides are ready to continue
the peace process and take efforts to register success. The only way
to reach agreement depends on goodwill of the conflicting sides,"
Russian Co-Chair said.
