Russian FM conveys Medvedev’s proposals on Karabakh to Sargsyan July 8, 2011 - 11:34 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov handed over a personal message and proposals of RF President Dmitry Medvedev to Armenian leader Serzh Sargsyan. “The proposals on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement were formulated following the outcomes of the meeting between the Russian, Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents in Kazan. I will convey a similar message to Baku as well,” Lavrov said at a briefing in Yerevan. According to him, reiterating interest in the conflict resolution, the Armenian President said he will examine the proposals and prepare an answer. 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. Later on Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward Nalbandian noted that meeting was not a breakthrough, as Azerbaijan proved unready to accept the final version of the basic principles suggested by the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs. “Instead, the Azerbaijani leader attempted to impose 10 new proposals, thus precluding the possibility of any agreement on the issue,” he added.
