ACCORDING TO HEYDAR ALIYEV MOSCOW TALKS HAVE NO RESULTS

At the trilateral meeting of the Presidents of Azerbaijan, Russia and Armenia progress regarding the Karabakh problem settlement was not made. As “Turan” agency informs, Azerbaijan’s President Heydar Aliyev stated this on his arrival from Moscow. He said that the talks had lasted half and an hour but there had not been any changes in the positions of the sides that was why the meeting had had no results. When speaking about Russia’s role Aliyev said that Vladimir Putin had noted again that Moscow could not put pressure upon any of the sides and the heads of Armenia and Azerbaijan should find a solution themselves. According to him, the other cochairmen have the same position. Aliyev complained that the leaders of the CIS countries “do not want to notice Armenian aggression and Armenian separatism”. When answering the question regarding his attitude to the recent calls to recommence the war, Aliyev said that he heard those calls, but he “can not make people shut up”.
