Presidents Vladimir Putin (Russia), Ilham Aliyev (Azerbaijan) and Serzh Sargsyan (Armenia) had a trilateral meeting in Sochi to discuss the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The sides resumed negotiations. Alan Kasayev, head of the sub-department for higher journalism mastery at the MSLU, said that the key results were that the sides decided to start the peace process. He pointed out that the presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia had no pretensions towards Putin. The most important aspect, in his words, is that the ceasefire agreement was reached after 10 days of tensions on the contact line.
Political analyst Rovshan Ibragimov reminded that the presidents had met to reduce tensions arising on the occupied territories of Azerbaijan. He does not expect any such tensions in the near future.
Ruben Safrastyan, the director of the Institute for Oriental Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia, said that Russia played the key role in the settlement process. The expert assumes that organizing the meeting was a demonstration of the active role of Russia in the peace process as a host of the talks and a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk group.
