March 15 2007
The Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, Vartan Oskanian, and
Azerbaijan, Elmar Mammadyarov, met in Geneva on March 14 under the
aegis of the three Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Ambassador
Yuri Merzlyakov (Russia), Ambassador Bernard Fassier (Fransa),
and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State - Ambassador Matthew Bryza
(U.S.A.) and in the presence of the Personal Representative of the
OSCE Chairman in Office, Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk.
APA quoted the ASCE Head Office as stating the two ministers had a
frank and constructive discussion about items raised by the parties
since the meeting of Presidents Aliyev and Kocharian in Minsk on
November 29, 2006.
The ministers provided each other a better understanding of their
respective concerns that will allow the parties to pursue discussions
on the basic principles for a future settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict, as proposed by the Co-Chairs, which remain the core of
the negotiations.
In that respect, the two foreign ministers agreed to meet again in
April 2007 and possibly later in May to prepare grounds for a future
presidential summit.
