PanARMENIAN.Net - The talks on Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement
can further take place without Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's
participation, the Kommersant business daily reported. "The Russian
President was so disappointed with the results of the Kazan meeting
between Azerbaijani and Armenian leaders, that he may stop his
mediatory mission. He plans to organize the next meeting between
Ilham Aliyev and Serzh Sargsyan only under the condition that the
two Presidents will finally sign the document on the basic principles
for the Karabakh conflict settlement," the newspaper said.
"The Kazan summit's failure may have direct consequences for the
peacemaking initiative of Dmitry Medvedev, who had been actively
engaged in the process of reconciliation between Azerbaijan and Armenia
since autumn 2009 and already organized nine tripartite meetings in
Russia," it added.
Despite optimistic forecasts and encouragement, the anticipated June
24 meeting ended in a statement saying that the heads of state "noted
the reaching of mutual understanding on a number of questions, whose
resolution helps create conditions to approve the basic principles."
The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan praised the OSCE Minsk Group
co-chair countries for their continuous attention to the problem and
once again thanked Russian President for his personal endeavors to
bring the positions of the conflicting sides closer.
