The Azerbaijani, Russian and Armenian presidents will make a
decision on the draft framework of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
settlement during the Kazan meeting next week, Russian Foreign
Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich was quoted by RIA Novosti as
saying.

“The expectations are great,” he said. “It is planned to consider the
integrity of the project on the so-called basic principles of
resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in accordance with the
agreements reached at the upcoming summit.”

He stressed that the wording of the document was agreed upon at the
meetings of the three countries’ foreign ministers in Moscow in April
and June.

“It was possible to bring closer the positions on several key issues
during the discussions,”he said. “The Presidents will consider these
developments and take appropriate actions.”

The Azerbaijani, Armenian and Russian presidents’ meeting in Kazan is
scheduled for late June.

This will be the ninth tripartite meeting between the presidents of
Azerbaijan, Russia and Armenia.
