Azerbaijan’s foreign minister says last week’s meeting between the
presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia brought no progress toward
resolving a long-standing territorial dispute.
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenia’s Serge Sarkisian met
Friday in Moscow to discuss the dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh. The
mountainous region is a part of Azerbaijan that has been under control
of Armenian troops and ethnic Armenian forces since a 1994 cease-fire
ended six years of war.
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said Monday that
Friday’s talks did not bring progress. But he said a trilateral meeting
Saturday with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev did raise hopes.
Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesman Tigran Balaian called the meetings
"constructive."
