    Yerevan hopes for progress in settling Karabakh issue at presidential meeting

    YEREVAN. March 3


    Yerevan hopes for progress in settling the conflict with Azerbaijan
    over Nagorno-Karabakh at a meeting between the Armenian, Azeri, and
    Russian presidents in Sochi in March.

    "We hope that Azerbaijan will finally display the necessary realism
    and political will in Sochi for progress in the settlement process,"
    Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian said when speaking at the
    Diplomatic Academy of Vienna.

    "While Armenia is talking about peace, Azerbaijan is propagating war.
    While we are proposing that an agreement on the non-use of force be
    reached, Azerbaijan is dismissing this proposal and is proud of its
    growing military budget," the Armenian Foreign Ministry quoted
    Nalbandian as saying.

    Yerevan accepted updated proposals as a basis for negotiations in St.
    Petersburg in June 2010, in Astrakhan in October 2010 and in Moscow in
    December 2010, he said.

    "This means that Armenia's position is consonant with the
    international community's position, but Azerbaijan is routinely
    proposing new changes on a number of issues on which a mutual
    understanding was reached long ago. It is strange that Baku is trying
    to camouflage its steps by accusing Armenia of the desire to edit the
    agreed-upon elements, while everything is in fact just the opposite,"
    he said.
