/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "One of the goals of my visit to the region is
to prepare the meeting between Armenian and Azeri FMs in Geneva,
which will be held March 14," OSCE Minsk Group French Co-Chair Bernard
Fassier stated to a press conference in Yerevan. He said, the agreement
on holding a meeting was reached during the meeting of OSCE Co-Chairs
in Paris this February. "I am dealing with preparations alone because
my schedule of works is not so intense considered with other Co-Chairs,
but I am speaking on behalf of them. All my meetings in Baku and
Yerevan, including the meeting with the head of Nagorno Karabakh Arkadi
Ghukassian were productive and constructive," Fassier said. In his
words, to guess the outcome of Geneva meeting is difficult, but he
hopes that "the sides will be able to come to any agreement".
"The matter is not about some new offers or magic ways of
settlement. The matter is about the document on the table," the French
mediator stressed. He noted, if talks are successful, that is to say,
an agreement is reached on the main principles of settlement, as well
as if several constructive meetings are held, it will be possible
to speak about preparing a meeting between the presidents of both
countries. "But in any case during electoral campaign in Armenia no
steps will be made. We can speak about something concrete after May
12," Bernard Fassier told.
