Azerbaijani ruling party believes in progress at presidents' Moscow meeting

"Signing of statement by heads of three co-chairmen-countires of OSCE Minsk Group during the G8 summit and disclosing Basis Principles on settlement of conflict points to significant advance in negotiations," Executive Secretary of the ruling New Azerbaijan Party Ali Ahmadov told media on July 13.

Next meeting of the Azerbaijani and the Armenian presidents is positive fact on the backdrop of advance in negotiations, Ahmadov said.

"One can suppose that progress reached earlier will be developed at presidents' Moscow meeting. On the other hand, if there were not any progress, there would be no need for presidents' meeting," he said.  

Many people realize that it is time for settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, he said.

"It is not only conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Consequences of conflict impact situation in South Caucasus. It is impossible to ensure stability, security and cooperation in the region without its settlement. I think that Moscow realizes that settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is crucial in terms of eliminating processes that cause anxiety in southern Russia," Ahmadov said.
