One should not expect progress from the trilateral meeting in Sochi, leader of ARF Dashnaktsutyun Vahan Hovhannisyan told a briefing today.

He stressed there would be no movement until Yerevan resolutely declares Stepanakert should be directly involved in the talks.  “Until Stepanakert is not directly involved, each Sargsyan-Aliyev meeting will be traditional, nothing more,” he said, adding he cherishes no hopes that the conflict would be settled in the near future.

A traditional trilateral meeting of the Russian, Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents will take place on March 5 in the Russian city of Sochi.
