The current year may be crucial for the Nagorno-Karabakh process, the expert at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, English journalist and author of the book "Black Garden: Armenia and Azerbaijan through Peace and War" Thomas de Waal said.
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan will meet in Kazan in late June. This will be the ninth tripartite meeting between the presidents of Azerbaijan, Russia and Armenia.
The meeting held in Sochi on March 5 was the 8th tripartite meeting of the Presidents of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia.
Astrakhan hosted a trilateral meeting of the presidents of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia - Ilham Aliyev, Dmitry Medvedev and Serzh Sargsyan on Oct. 27. The parties signed a declaration envisaging the return of POWs. It is of humanitarian nature.
The Basic Principles document has now been under discussion for more than five years and, as the presidents say, continued delay over agreeing on a short framework agreement raises questions as to whether the presidents are genuinely committed to a peaceful deal for Karabakh, he said.
