A meeting between Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, with the participation of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, will play a landmark role in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement, the Russian Foreign Ministry said, reports the Journal of Turkish Weekly citing Trend news agency.
“We expect that Baku and Yerevan will respond constructively in Deauville on May 26 to the joint statement made by the presidents of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries — the Russian Federation, the US, and the French Republic. The leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia must show political will during the Kazan summit to complete discussion of the Basic Principles project pertaining to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,” the foreign ministry said.
The document to be discussed in Kazan is the result of long negotiations and joint effort of all parties and co-chairing countries. It is a real foundation for further advancement and preparation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, the report said.
“We hope that on the basis of this document, the parties will reach an agreement for peace, prosperity and development throughout the region,” the statement said.
