/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "I wish to congratulate Presidents Aliyev and
Sargsyan, and President Medvedev, who facilitated the meeting,
on their commitment to finding a peaceful solution to the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict. The start of this dialogue, which will be followed
by intensified diplomatic efforts and the promotion of a series of
confidence-building measures, is a window of hope for the entire
region," said the President.
"As I pointed out during my visits to Baku and Yerevan last July,
our Assembly has worked relentlessly over the past 15 years to
bring about a political solution to the conflict in compliance with
international standards and principles and the commitments which the
two states made upon joining the Council of Europe. Such a solution
is now closer than ever," he added.
Following the start of dialogue aimed at finding a peaceful solution
to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, the President of the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe, Lluis Maria de Puig, has urged
the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan to continue down this road.

"The Parliamentary Assembly stands ready to help the Parliaments of
Armenia and Azerbaijan in all their efforts so that the process just
started proves successful," he concluded.
During the November 2 meeting, the Presidents Dmitry Medvedev of
Russia, Serzh Sargsyan of Armenia and Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan

principles and norms of the international law as well as agreements
and documents concluded in this framework.
"The presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia decided to continue their
work - including at further high-profile talks - to agree on a
political settlement to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict," Medvedev
said. "They instructed their foreign ministers to activate the
negotiation process, in collaboration with the co-chairs of the OSCE's
Minsk Group."
