There is no hope in progress during the forthcoming meeting of the
Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents in Kazan, Russian MP Konstantin
Zatulin, the Director of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)
Institute, said.

Zatulin noted that people should not pin strong hope in the
settlement of all problems, particularly the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict, which have remained unsettled for many years between the
countries. He appreciated the initiative taking into consideration
that `generally there is a need in meetings and different problems
have occurred at organization of meetings between Azerbaijan and
Armenia in the different levels so far’.

The meeting of Ilham Aiyev, the President of Azerbaijan, and Robert
Kocharian, the President of Armenia, to be held within the summit of
the CIS heads of countries in Kazan. is scheduled for 27 August 2005
