DeFacto Agency, Armenia

RA and AR FMs' Geneva meeting to be held March 14 may become positive,
RA FM Vardan Oskanian stated at a press conference held March 9,
IA REGNUM reports. According to the Minister, the meeting may be
positive, unless the Azeri party makes complications.
In his words, OSCE Minsk group Co-Chairs are seriously preparing
the two FMs' meeting and hope after the Parliamentary elections are
held in Armenia a meeting of the two countries' Presidents will
be organized. "The Co-Chairs wish positive shifts to be fixed in
the negotiation process at the Foreign Ministers' level before the
meeting of Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan", Vardan Oskanian
noted, adding OSCE MG French Co-Chair Bernard Fassier, who had left
Yerevan for Baku, would again visit Yerevan March 12.
Touching upon the Azeri party's last statements concerning the current
stage of Nagorno-Karabagh conflict settlement, Vardan Oskanian remarked
the Azeri party's statements did not always correspond to the spirit
and essence of a document on the negotiating table. According to RA
FM, the Nagorno-Karabagh leadership is always informed of the talks'
course. "They can have their viewpoint, they may not agree with
something, however, we inform (the Nagorno-Karabagh authorities -
ed.) of the talks after every meeting with the Azeri party", Vardan
Oskanian stated.
RA FM also stated it was premature to speak of the Azeri refugees'
return to the places of their residence in the Nagorno-Karabagh.
"Until all the details of the possible conduct of a referendum
in Nagorno-Karabagh are verified, in part, the terms and who can
participate in it, it is premature to speak of the refugees' return",
Vardan Oskanian summed up.
