The International Crisis Group, an organization working to prevent
conflicts worldwide, has praised the recent talks between the Azeri
and Armenian presidents in the Russian Volga river city of Kazan.
The meetings are of great importance for the peaceful resolution of
the Upper Garabagh conflict, ICG vice-president Alain Deletroz told
a press conference in Baku on Friday.
“Hope remains after the Kazan meeting for the positive outcome of
negotiations, as neither the Azeri nor the Armenian side made any
negative comments following the meeting. Both sides expressed hopes
for the results in the peace process.”
Deletroz added that ICG does not see a conflict resolution without
compromises and therefore calls on both sides to be constructive.*
