Armenian MP says Russian mediation efforts on Karabakh passive
July 9, 2011 – 15:16 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net – Heritage parliamentary group member Larisa
Alaverdyan assessed Russia’s mediation efforts before and after
Kazan-hosted meeting on Karabakh settlement as passive.
As she told a news conference in Yerevan, `clearly, Russia won’t
benefit form the presence of other forces in South Caucasus region.
Russia has to take drastic measures in Karabakh conflict settlement
and determine its strategy to avoid facing a complicated situation.’
The MP expressed confidence for Russia to activate steps to achieve
progress in conflict settlement in near future.
On July 8, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov handed over a
personal message and proposals of RF President Dmitry Medvedev to
Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev.
At June 24 meeting in Kazan, the Presidents of Armenia, Azerbaijan and
Russia failed to sign an agreement on basic principles of Karabakh
conflict settlement.
As Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian noted later, despite
the OSCE MG co-chairs’ efforts, Azerbaijan was not ready to accept the
final version of basic principles, presenting ten new amendments at
the last moment.
