Aliyev, Medvedev hold ‘detailed’ talks on Garabagh
Azerbaijani and Russian Presidents Ilham Aliyev and Dmitry Medvedev
held detailed discussions on progress in the ongoing talks on the
Armenia-Azerbaijan Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh conflict during their
meeting in Russia on Tuesday, the Russian President’s spokeswoman,
Natalya Timakova, said.
"Ilham Aliyev informed Dmitry Medvedev in detail about the outcomes of another round of his negotiations with Armenian President Serzh Sarkisian held with the participation of the Minsk Group representatatives [the Russian, French and US co-chairs brokering the peace process]," Russia’s RIA Novosti news agency quoted Timakova as saying. "The Russian president welcomed the positive movement of the negotiating process, assuring his counterparts that Moscow will further make all the efforts necessary to achieve a settlement to the Upper Garabagh conflict.
Azerbaijan and Armenia fought a lengthy war that ended with the signing of a cease-fire in 1994, but Armenia continues to occupy part of Azerbaijani territory, including the Upper Garabagh region, in defiance of international law. Peace talks have been largely fruitless so far.
According to Timakova, Presidents Aliyev and Medvedev also discussed issues of cooperation, including that in the field of economics, as well as a schedule for further high-level contacts.*
