MOSCOW. – No need to expect a breakthrough from the Sochi meeting scheduled on Jan. 23 between Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents, Russian expert Andrey Areshev told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“Expert opinion in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh is more apt the meeting to be a formal one due to sluggish diplomatic activity of the conflicting sides,” he said adding the situation continues to remain in a deadlock.

Trilateral meeting between Russian, Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents is scheduled on Jan. 23 in Sochi, Russia.
