ARMENIAN AND AZERI PRESIDENTS DID NOT DISCUSS KARABAKH SETTLEMENT CONCRETE OPTIONS AT ASTANA MEETING
Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents did not discuss any concrete options of the Karabakh conflict settlement during their meeting in Astana, Azeri Foreign Minister Deputy Araz Azimov stated yesterday, Turan news agency reports. In his words, only individual elements have been considered in the Kazakh capital, specifically, issues referring to the return of population to the native lands, restoration of communications and some other questions. After eliminating the conditions and factors, which impede the resolving of the major problem, the settlement of political issues will become easier as well, Azerbaijani FM Deputy considers. The opposing party lives in subjective illusion of military victory, which must be prevented and conditions for establishing peace should be formed then, A. Azimov stated.
