Hay Dat: Yerevan, Baku seem unsatisfied with Medvedev’s message on KarabakhJuly 15, 2011 - 16:43 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s personal message and proposals on Karabakh settlement, clearly don’t satisfy the conflicting parties, according to director of the ARF bureau's Hay Dat and political affairs office. As Kiro Manoyan told a news conference in Yerevan, “despite the failure in Kazan, Russia is striving to find additional ways towards conflict settlement. However, conflicting parties seem unsatisfied with Medvedev’s proposals, being in no hurry to reply.” On July 8, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov handed over a personal message and proposals of RF President Dmitry Medvedev to Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev. At June 24 meeting in Kazan, the Presidents of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia failed to sign an agreement on basic principles of Karabakh conflict settlement. As Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian noted later, despite the OSCE MG co-chairs’ efforts, Azerbaijan was not ready to accept the final version of basic principles, presenting ten new amendments at the last moment.
