No Karabakh Accord Announced After Armenian-Azeri Summit

By Emil Danielyan

Armenia and Azerbaijan have made contradictory statements on their
presidents' weekend meeting in Russia which international mediators
hoped will mark a turning point in their protracted search for a
solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

Presidents Robert Kocharian and Ilham Aliev did not speak to journalists
after their talks in the Russian city of Kazan on Saturday and it is not
known if they reached any formal or informal agreements on Karabakh.
Reports from Kazan said the two leaders conferred in a tĂȘte-Ă -tĂȘte
format for an hour before being joined by French, Russian and U.S.
diplomats spearheading the peace process.

Kocharian, according to his spokesman Victor Soghomonian, came away
satisfied from the meeting held on the sidelines of a summit of the
Commonwealth of Independent States. `The Armenian side assesses the
meeting in Kazan positively and considers it a positive development in
the negotiating process,' the Itar-Tass news agency quoted Soghomonian
as saying.

The official added that Foreign Ministers Elmar Mammadyarov of
Azerbaijan and Vartan Oskanian of Armenia will continue that process
`based on the agreements reached in Kazan.' He did not say what those
agreements are.

`In general, I cannot say that there has been any major progress or
breakthrough,' Mammadyarov said for his part, according to the
Azerbaijani ANS television. `We did not reach any agreement.'

`I think that we, both Armenia and Azerbaijan, need a couple of weeks to
analyze the thoughts voiced by the two sides and think what the results
may be and whether we are prepared for any progress or not,' he added.

Mammadyarov and Oskanian held talks in Moscow earlier in the week to
prepare for the Armenian-Azerbaijani summit and appeared satisfied with
their results. Highlighting the importance of the Kazan meeting, U.S.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice telephoned Aliev and Kocharian on
Thursday to urge them to make mutual concessions that will pave the way
for a Karabakh peace deal.

Diplomatic sources in Yerevan told RFE/RL last month that the parties
have already agreed on the key points of a peace deal that could be
formalized as early as this year or at the beginning of next. They said
it is based on the idea of a referendum in which the Karabakh Armenians
will decide whether they want to be independent, become a part of
Armenia or return under Azerbaijani rule. Speaking to RFE/RL in Moscow
last week, Mammadyarov admitted that such a peace formula is being
discussed by the parties.

Regional observers believe that Aliev and Kocharian will not announce
any compromise deals until November which will see parliamentary
elections in Azerbaijan and a constitutional referendum in Armenia. It
is widely assumed that opposition groups in both countries would exploit
unpopular concessions on Karabakh in their struggle against the ruling
regimes.

The Karabakh peace process has always been highly confidential.
Kocharian and Aliev's late predecessor and father Heydar, for example,
did not announce any agreements after a meeting in Paris in March 2001.
But Armenian officials claimed afterward that the two presidents agreed
on the key principles of a peace accord that nearly ended the bitter
dispute.
