AZERBAIJANI PRESIDENTS IN MOSCOW WILL REGISTER PROGRESS IN NAGORNO
KARABAKH CONFLICT REGULATION
YEREVAN, JULY 3, ARMENPRESS: "We stand up for the efforts by Minsk
group and the progress which has been registered. We are optimistic
that the possible meeting of Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents in
Moscow will register a progress in Karabakh conflict regulation", –
during the joint press conference with the Armenian Foreign Minister
Edward Nalbandian said Greek Foreign Affairs Minister, OSCE
Chairperson-in-Office Dora Bakoyannis, who is in Armenia on a regional
visit.
According to her it has many times been mentioned that the June 4
meeting of Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and
Ilham Aliev in Saint Petersburg was very constructive and it is
necessary to maintain the established good opportunity.
In response to the question of Armenpress about the frequent cases
of violating the ceasefire regime, as well as of the rejection by the
Azerbaijani side to withdraw snipers, D. Bakoyannis noted that the
position of OSCE in that issue is distinct – the lose of lives by
violating the established ceasefire mustn’t be allowed.
"OSCE does its best to save lives in the region and will continue
exert efforts. Every life is special, even one death case is great and
shouldn’t be allowed", – the CiO said.
She underscored that Armenia and Azerbaijan are constructively
involved in negotiations on presidents’ level to regulate Nagorno
Karabakh conflict. The negotiations inspire optimism.
"I am encouraged by the political will displayed by all sides and
proposals presented by Minsk group, which may bring to a positive
result", – D. Bakoyannis said underscoring that Armenia is an
important state for preserving stability in the South Caucasus.
