Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has reviewed outcome of the initiated meeting between Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders and will soon decide on further steps in this direction, said  Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Speaking about the format of talks, Lavrov said changes will not be efficient.

“We think that now we have approached the situation when you need to make decisions,” he said at a press conference on Wednesday.

The meeting of Armenian, Azerbaijani held on the initiative of Russian leader Dmitry Medvedev took place in Kazan on June 24. The sides failed to agree on Basic principles of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement despite the calls of OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing states Russia, U.S. and France.

In a statement issued after the meeting the presidents noted “the achievement of mutual understanding on a number of issues. Solution of these issues contributes to creating conditions for the approval of the basic principles.”

Speaking at a press conference in Kiev last week Armenian leader said that Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and the OSCE mediators confirmed their intention to intensify mediatory efforts despite the failure of Kazan talks.

Unsuccessful talks in Kazan are not indicative of end of the peace process on the whole, he added.

”During a phone conversation Russian President Medvedev informed me he had sent his views of the problem in written form. I think we will soon receive it to see how to move forward,” Sargsyan said.
