Baku, 28 July: US Under Secretary of State Paula Dobriansky has said
that the next meeting scheduled to be held soon between the Armenian
and Azerbaijani presidents might be crucial in the settlement of the
Karabakh conflict. Dobriansky is paying a two-day visit to Baku in
connection with the forthcoming parliamentary election in Azerbaijan.
Dobriansky met Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev yesterday evening,
but the meeting is said not to have discussed the Nagornyy Karabakh
issue, Yerkir reported. To all appearances, the senior US diplomat and
the Azerbaijani president talked about problems in the run-up to the
election. Dobriansky noted that the world community would closely
follow the election.
