NO NEW MEETING PLANNED BETWEEN ARMENIAN, AZERBAIJANI PRESIDENTS

Published in News Digest

By empty (7/11/2006 issue of the CACI Analyst)

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev told the Turkish daily \"Cumhuriyet\" in an interview published on July 10 that he has no plans to meet with his Armenian counterpart Robert Kocharian on the sidelines of the G8 summit in St. Petersburg on July 15-17, RFE/RL\'s Armenian Service reported. Aliyev noted that he and Kocharian have met twice in recent months (in February on the outskirts of Paris and in June in Bucharest) but, due to what he termed the \"unconstructive position\" adopted by Armenia, those meetings \"did not yield any results\" in terms of further progress towards resolving the Karabakh conflict.

He added that a resumption of hostilities \"cannot be excluded\" in light of the \"very fragile\" cease-fire and the absence of a peacekeeping force to separate the warring sides. Kocharian\'s spokesman Viktor Soghomonian similarly told RFE/RL that the president\'s July 17 agenda does not include a meeting with Aliyev. (RFE/RL)
