Azerbaijan's president Ilham Aliyev said late today there has been "no progress" with his Armenian counterpart over resolving a two-decade dispute, contradicting earlier statements by Russia, Reuters cited Interfax as reporting. "As far as the key topics are concerned, both sides could not move towards an agreement, and the main reason for this was because the position of the Armenian side was unconstructive," the news agency quoted Aliyev as telling Azeri state television. Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told reporters in the Moldovan capital, where the meeting took place, that the presidents of the two Caucasus nations had moved closer to a resolution over the Nagorno-Karabakh enclave.
