/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Yet there is not any positive step from the sides
of Nagorno Karabakh conflict to meet with each other, said Yuri
Merzlyakov, Russian co-chair of OSCE Minsk Group. Touching on the
disappointment of several politicians for not-invitation of Azerbaijani
and Armenian presidents by the leaders of G8 to the recent summit in
Saint-Petersburg, he noted that he does not "see any sense in inviting
the presidents to the summit."
According to him, it is necessary to support the sides, when they
reach an agreement. "This question should not be considered at the
G8 summit," Yuri Merzlyakov added. "We tried to come to an agreement
during last two meetings, but we did not succeed," Merzlyakov said.
He emphasized that G8 called for Azerbaijan and Armenia to demonstrate
political will and prepare their peoples to peace, not war. Merzlyakov
stressed that the co-chairs of Minsk Group have presented proposals
for consideration by the conflict sides.
Besides, the diplomat ruled out that "it is always sensible to
organize next meetings between the sides and will are trying to do it,"
