OSCE MINSK GROUP CO-CHAIRMEN TO ARRIVE IN YEREVAN ON JANUARY 24
YEREVAN, JANUARY 24, NOYAN TAPAN. The document on the main principles
of the Nagorno Karabakh problem settlement presented by the OSCE Minsk
Group Co-Chairmen was discussed during the January 23 Moscow meeting
of Armenian and Azerbaijani Foreign Ministers lasted few hours. In
the interview given to Radio Liberty Armenian Foreign Minister
Vartan Oskanian stated that though the present meeting was regular,
but differed from the previous ones as after the last meeting of the
2 countries' Presidents some problems were found out which were to
be touched upon. In the Minister's words, an attempt was made this
time to discuss "the second layer of some principles" presented by
the Co-Chairmen. I can not fix that there is some serious progress
in addition to what we already had, but however, I think that it
was an effective attempt and one must continue the negotiations,"
V.Oskanian said.
By the way, according to the radio station, the Azerbaijani
Foreign Minister's press conference envisaged in Moscow did not
take place. After the meeting the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmen left
for Baku with him where he would meet with Azerbaijani President
Ilham Aliyev. In V.Oskanian's words, the Co-Chairmen will arrive in
Yerevan on January 24. It is expected that they will meet in Yerevan
or Stepanakert with the Nagorno Karabakh authorities. The meeting
with RA President Robert Kocharian is scheduled for January 26.
