PanARMENIAN.Net - I would not call Kazan meeting failure although expectations from the meting were great. We expected to face namely what happened in fact, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said.

“First of all, the meeting lacked respective atmosphere, as Azerbaijan every day poisons its own people by all possible methods,” the President said at a joint press conference with his Polish counterpart Bronislav Komorovsky.

As Mr.Sargsyan said, people of NKR and Armenia have only one demand: Karabakh issue must be settled within the frames of international law and bases of that law must be reflected in Madrid principles, offered to the parties by the co-chairs of OSCE Minsk Group.

The summit between Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia in Kazan on June 24 completed without an agreement on basic principles of Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement because the Azerbaijani leader Ilham Aliyev attempted to impose 10 new proposals, thus precluding the possibility of any agreement on the issue.

After Kasan meeting failure, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov handed over personal messages and suggestions of RF President Dmitry Medvedev to Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev. Armenia and Azerbaijan already replied to President Medvedev’s suggestions.
