YEREVAN, OCTOBER 21, NOYAN TAPAN. "The meeting of the three Presidents
will take place soon to continue the discussion over the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict," RF President Dmitry Medvedev stated at the
October 21 press conference within the framework of his two-day
official visit to Armenia, expressing the hope that the meeting will
take place in Russia. However he did not mention meeting of which
countries’ Presidents he meant, whether Armenia-Azerbaijan-Russia or
Armenia-Azerbaijan-Nagorno Karabakh.

According to his observation, the process of problem settlement is at
the stage of progress, in any case, according to him, the two sides
are ready to look for solutions. "The August events showed that any
complicated issue should be solved proceeding by the international
principles, through negotiations. It is one of the most important
lessons of the crisis in the Caucasian region," the RF President said.

RA President Serzh Sargsyan, in his turn, stated that Armenia
is ready to continue the negotiations on the basis of Madrid
principles: those principles permit to recognize the principle of
people’s self-determination, Nagorno Karabakh people’s right of
self-determination, and some issues of principle for Armenia.
