    FRENCH, AZERI FMS DISCUSS KARABAKH CONFLICT SETTLEMENT PROSPECTS

    PanARMENIAN.Net - French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe met with his
    Azerbaijani counterpart Elmar Mammadyarov in Paris to discuss Nagorno
    Karabakh conflict settlement.

    The parties specifically dwelled on conflict settlement prospects
    after Kazan-hosted Armenia-Russia-Azerbaijan presidential meeting.

    Despite optimistic forecasts and encouragement, the June 24 meeting
    between the Armenian, Russian and Azerbaijani Presidents 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.

    Later on Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward Nalbandian noted that
    meeting was not a breakthrough, as Azerbaijan proved unready to accept
    the final version of the basic principles suggested by the OSCE Minsk
    Group Co-chairs. "Instead, the Azerbaijani leader attempted to impose
    10 new proposals, thus precluding the possibility of any agreement
    on the issue," he added.
