Baku. Lachin Sultanova – APA. "There are some hopes for the meeting
of Azerbaijani, Russian and Armenian presidents in Sochi, January 25,"
chief of socio-political department of the Presidential Administration
Ali Hasanov said, APA reports.

"We think that as the continuation of the dialogue lasting for years,
the process that has started around Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorno
Karabakh conflict will be discussed during the meeting," he said.

According to Hasanov, there has always been a hope that every meeting
will have positive outcomes, Armenia will give up its non-constructive
position.

"We have always hoped that the ways of solution to this problem will
be found, progress will be observed in the process. But everything
does not depend on us, there is the position of the opposite side,
attitude of the world community towards the issue. Anyway, we are
expecting certain results from this meeting," he said.

To APA’s question "Is Russia making enough efforts for the solution
to Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict?", Ali Hasanov said Russia, US and
France were making more efforts within the recent two years.

"Some efforts are observed, but serious pressure on Armenia is not
observed yet. Without pressure it is difficult to make Armenia and
its leadership give up non-constructive position," he said.
