STEPANAKERT, May 30. /ARKA/. No great progress or breakthrough should
be expected of the meeting between Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents,
Robert Kocharyan and Ilkham Aliyev in Burcharest, Romania, on June
4, 2006, Chairman of the Standing Committee for Foreign Relations,
National Assembly of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR), Vahram
Atanesyan told ARKA.
He did not rule out the possibility of a positive change in the
context of the parties’ closer positions on the principles of the
Nagorno-Karabakh settlement.
“I hope that after the meeting the two countries’ Presidents will
make a statement that further search for a peaceful settlement of
the conflict has not alternative and that large-scale negotiations
immediately involving the NKR official representatives need to be
started,” Atanesyan said.
Talking to journalists before, RA Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan
stated that the Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents are to meet during
the Black Sea Forum of Dialogue and Partnership. He stressed that
“the negotiations for the settlement of the conflict are yet far from
the point of signing any agreement.”
