/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group are
expecting progress on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement from
the meeting of the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Prague,
French co-chairman Bernard Fassier told Trend News on May 5.
"We look forward to further progress. The co-chairman countries
presented the final version of the basic principles to the parties
two years ago, in late 2007, and we hope that the leaders can make
a progress in the validation of these principles," - said Fassier.
The Presidents of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev and Armenia Serj Sargsyan
will meet on 7 May in Prague to continue direct talks to resolve the
Karabakh conflict.
He said that mutual understanding exists on the majority of items
between the sides, and it is now necessary to reach an understanding
on the remaining principles, "that we seek."
The Prague meeting will be the fourth meeting between the Presidents
after the St. Petersburg meeting a year ago, in June last year,
which was very constructive. Also a constructive meeting took place
with the signing of the Moscow Declaration where the Presidents agreed
that it is very important that the solution can be political based on
all the principles and norms of international law. Later, they met in
Zurich in late January 2009, and it was another positive meeting. And
we hope that the fourth will be even more constructive," said Fassier.
"We very much hope that in this framework, Prague will be a
continuation of constructive meetings," he said.
Fassier said that the meeting will be held in an usual format.
"From the beginning, the co-chairmen and the ministers at the same
time will meet with the Presidents, later the two Presidents will have
a face-to-face meeting, and later will again invite the ministers and
co-chairmen to listen to how they evaluate the talks and continue to
work together to clarify some points and agree upon the next stage
of the negotiation process," said Fassier.
