/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The meeting of Armenian and Azeri leaders over
Nagorno Karabakh is of most interest among bilateral summits in
Minsk, to say nothing of the possible Russia-Georgia meeting. The
Kocharian-Aliyev meeting will be held "under the auspices" of Vladimir
Putin. As the Commersant writes, "Public in Yerevan does not conceal
that Kocharian goes to Minsk for the sake of that meeting." "Public in
Baku say that the meeting may have results, "if Putin puts pressure
on Kocharian." If it is the case, according to Azeri experts, Aliyev
may agree with expected Moscow’s demand of Baku not to assist Georgia
in gas and electricity supplies," the article author believes.
However, in the opinion of the edition, the Azeri President is no
less concerned over Russian Government latest decision to reduce the
number of foreigners in retail trade, which threatens to hundreds
of thousand Azeri traders. "All these problems will probably not be
solved in Minsk today and the three Presidents will most likely agree
over a new meeting of the same format in Moscow," the newspaper writes.
