Azerbaijan, Baku / corr Trend I.Alizade / Vasiliy Istratov, the Russian
Ambassador to Azerbaijan, has predicted that the peace talks on the
resolution of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh
will intensify.
Istratov said in talks with journalists that negotiations will
most likely intensify following the completion of the elections in
Armenia. He stated that making any form of prediction is very difficult
in politics, as the results will not only depend on Russia's will,
but on a number of reasons.
Up to the 12 May parliamentary elections in Armenia, the polls
were expected to impede the peace talks on the resolution of the
Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict. 'The elections have been held and the
results have been announced. Now we will see whether the elections
have impeded the talks," the diplomat stressed.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries broke out in
1988 due to Armenia's territorial claims at Azerbaijan.
