    Azerbaijani, Armenian presidents debated issues not touched upon so
    far: Russian co-chair

    18 July 2009 [10:48] - Today.Az

    `Unfortunately, we can't boast of any success in Moscow meeting of
    presidents," said OSCE Minsk Group Russian co-chair Yuriy Merzlyakov
    after the meeting between Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents Ilham
    Aliyev and Serzh Sargsyan on July 17 in Moscow.

    `However we think that there was considerable rapprochement on other
    issues at the meeting'.

    Merzlyakov said the presidents began to discuss the issues not toughed
    upon so far.

    `The presidents and we got an impression that it is possible to make a
    decision and therefore the negotiations will be continued'.

    The diplomat said US co-chair Matthew Bryza plans to visit the region
    in August and French co-chair Bernard Fassier in early September and
    joint visit of the co-chairs expected to take place in late September.

    `As a result of these meetings we look forward to organize new meeting
    in October'.

    Merzlyakov said participation of the break-away Nagorno-Karabakh
    republic in the negotiations was not discussed.

    `We discussed only the issues on agenda related to the Basic
    Principles only. The participation of Nagorno-Karabakh in the
    negotiations was not on agenda today. We think that the participation
    of the Nagorno Karabakh representatives in the negotiation can be
    discussed after the agreement is reached on the Basic Principles'.
