Robert Kocharyan and in general all conversations with Armenia do not
make any sense. He also said there is still no information confirming
near Aliyev-Kocharyan meeting possibility, including that during the
informal meeting of CIS leaders in Moscow in the third decade of July.
"Although I do not rule out such a chance, and Russian government,

only matter of discussion, but nevertheless one of the most important
as the said conflict is one of those to be settled the first".

an effort during the CIS informal summit to catch initiative in this
matter", he concluded.
