Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia Agree to Meet in
Saint-Petersburg within Informal CIS Summit
Azerbaijan, Baku / corr. Trend S.Agayeva / The French Co-Chair of the
OSCE Minsk Group, Bernard Fassier, said on 25 May in Baku that the
Presidents of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev and Armenia, Robert Kocharyan,
will meet on 9 June in Saint-Petersburg at informal summit of the CIS
State Heads.
The Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia consented to this meeting
during the current visit of the Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group to
the region. Before Baku, the mediators arrived in Yerevan.
`The consent of the Presidents to meet is good news. However, it
should be mentioned that it is realistic to hope for the solution to
all problems at this one meeting,' Fassier said. He voiced his hope,
however, that the forthcoming meeting in Saint-Petersburg will
provide an opportunity to see progress in the negotiations process.
The diplomat said that in order to make concluding preparations for
the meeting of the Presidents, the mediators will make one more visit
to the region after the visit of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Spanish
Foreign Minister, Miguel Angel Moratinos, who will arrive in the
region at the beginning of June.
