The Presidential Administration of France, Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group James Warlick and Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian gave a positive rating to the meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents Ilham Aliyev and Serzh Sargsyan at the Elysee Palace in Paris.
According to French President Francois Hollande’s press service, the sides agreed to exchange information about missing persons of the Nagorno-Karabakh war under the auspices of the International Red Cross.
Warlick characterized the dialogue as constructive, thanking Hollande for another positive step. Nalbandian thanked the French leader for contributing to trust between the countries.
Professor Fikret Sadykhov of the Western University noted the lack of radical changes in the situation. France prepared the meeting scrupulously and demonstrated a serious approach to the negotiations, said Sadykhov. In his opinion, the most important achievement is the efforts made by France to start work on a major peace agreement. The professor assumes that there will be no breakthrough as long as Armenia continues occupation of the territories around Nagorno-Karabakh.
Alexander Markarov, the director of the Armenian branch of the Institute of CIS Countries, pointed out the value of the declarations made at the talks. He said that the president-level dialogue continued and both sides saw no alternative to a peaceful settlement of the conflict. Markarov reminded that peaceful intentions had been reiterated at meetings in Sochi in August, in Wales in September and in Paris yesterday.
