French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe has said that Armenia and Azerbaijan will be submitted additional proposals for resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh settlement.

“It’s sad that the meeting in Kazan did not yield results but France hails Russian President’s efforts to help the sides find a solution to the problem,” Juppe said in an interview with Echo of Moscow.

Despite optimistic forecasts and encouragement, the June 24 meeting between the Armenian, Russian and Azerbaijani Presidents ended in a statement saying that the heads of state “noted the reaching of mutual understanding on a number of questions, whose resolution helps create conditions to approve the basic principles."

The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan praised the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries for their continuous attention to the problem and once again thanked Russian President for his personal endeavors to bring the positions of the conflicting sides closer.
