YEREVAN. - The meeting with Azerbaijani president, in all likelihood,
is a new stage of talks on Karabakh and new beginning, Armenian
President said.
President Serzh Sargsyan commented on the meeting in Vienna during
consultations at the Ministry of Culture on Friday.
"It is difficult to speak about shift in talks, but after the meeting
when I was asked about my assessments, I replied briefly "Normal". I
really think it was normal. Normal in the sense that this meeting
actually means, in all likelihood, a new round of negotiations and
a new beginning. We have not met for almost two year and this means
that high-level talks were stopped," President said.
Serzh Sargsyan said he saw Azerbaijani leader's wish to solve the
problem, but this is not enough.
"We have the same desire. I personally wish that the problem were
resolved as quickly as possible However, the conditions under which
the President of Azerbaijan wants to solve the problem and on what
terms do I - that is the matter," President emphasized.
President Sargsyan assessed the meeting as a positive one, adding
that the presidents had already instructed foreign ministers to start
talks in early December "based on our new instructions."
"In December, the co-chairs will visit the region, and probably
agreement to meet in the near future, which we have achieved with the
President of Azerbaijan, will become a reality, based on the results
of these meetings," he concluded.
