“A new process seems to be initiated, which will direct all these to more content negotiations, which is only positive. The most important circumstance is that other Co-Chairs had their part in St. Petersburg discussions. I hope that president Putin will continue his efforts with the same spirit. If president Hollande also intends to host a meeting, it’ll be very good, president Obama also had such meetings in Washington D.C. in April.”

There are indications that the Russian government is now prepared to push harder for a two-step solution to the Karabakh conflict by pressing Armenia to withdraw its forces from five (of the seven) regions of Azerbaijan other than Karabakh and then later to negotiate about some future autonomous status for the separatist Karabakh territory after that happens.

However we will not allow to make our entire society a hostage of this tense situation.

“I cannot understand a stance of a number of journalists (of course, not everyone’s) from Armenia and Azerbaijan. You want to overcome the conflict or to deepen it inventing news based on Your taste. It is a dangerous activity”, she said. She said at the press conference she was asked about the situation in Azerbaijan, Armenia and Turkey, “which was more like a political manifesto which I had to disrupt.”
