Armenian president hopes for speedy settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict
The Armenian president hopes that the conflict in Nagorno Karabakh
will be settled soon.
"The June 6 meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in St.
Petersburg was fruitful. Both sides bound their foreign ministers to
continue work on the basis of the Madrid principles. Three meetings
have been held. I hope we will find a solution in the nearest future,"
President Serzh Sargsian said in an interview with a Turkish
newspaper, the presidential press service reported on Thursday.
Speaking of the time of the settlement he noted that it would be wrong
to make any forecasts before the residential elections in Azerbaijan.
"It would be wrong to make any forecasts about the settlement before
the presidential elections in Azerbaijan. Let’s see how the situation
will be unfolding after the elections," he said.
