ArmInfo. Russian President Vladimir Putin at the summit of leaders of the CSTO countries said that efforts to comprehensively resolve the acute issues of the Nagorno- Karabakh settlement require further attention.
"Of course, our further attention is required - I agree with colleagues who have already spoken about this - and issues related to efforts to achieve a comprehensive Armenian-Azerbaijani settlement. Of course, these are acute issues that require our attention," Putin said during the speech at the meeting in narrow format. He added that the trilateral talks in Sochi at the end of October between the leaders of Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan created "a good basis for future compromises on issues of principle."
"Only by consistently fulfilling the agreements previously achieved in the areas of delimitation of borders, unblocking transport communications, and solving humanitarian problems, it is possible to achieve a stable normalization of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan. We hope that this will eventually lead to the conclusion of a peace treaty between Yerevan and Baku," Putin said.
