Kazan-hosted meeting between Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents Serzh
Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev to be held through the mediation of Russian
President Dmitry Medvedev is only a pro-forma event, according to an
expert at Washington Center for Strategic and International Studies.
As Sergey Markedonov stated in a conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net
reporter, “Kazan-hosted meeting will follow the same scenario as
those in Sochi and Astrakhan. No final result in Karabakh conflict
settlement is yet to be expected. Yet, a communication is better
than war preparations. A progress in humanitarian aspects would be
a definite plus.”
On June 25, Kazan will host a trilateral meeting between Armenian,
Azerbaijani and Russian Presidents.
