    Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Elmar Mammadyarov has met with visiting
    OSCE Chairman-In-Office, Foreign Minister of Slovenia Dimitrij
    Rupel. Dwelling on the London meeting between Foreign Ministers of
    Azerbaijan and Armenia expected on April 15 in the presence of the
    OSCE Minsk group co-Chairs, the Minister reaffirmed Azerbaijan's
    adherence of to peaceful settlement of the conflict, and added that
    his country is implementing serious reforms targeted to integration
    into the Euroatlantic structures.

    OSCE Chairman-In-Office Dimitrij Rupel for his part stressed the
    importance of the continuation of the dialogue between the parties
    saying his organization is doing its best for the conflict to be
    solved in a peace way.

    Touching upon the discharge of the 114 prisoners including those who
    organized the 2003 October unrest, Mr. Rupel has valued this as a
    serious step towards political dialogue on the threshold of the
    upcoming parliamentary elections in Azerbaijan.

    the Azerbaijni community of Nagorno-Karabakh Nizami Bahmanov. The
    latter expressed his concern and disappointment on the fact the
    conflict had not yet been solved since the ceasefire regime was
    established in 1994. Noting that the Armenian' s recent frequent
    ceasefire breaking has a negative impact on the peace process, Nizami
    Bahmanov called on the OSCE to intensify its activities towards the
    conflict's resolution.
