NO CONCRETE ARRANGEMENT YET ABOUT KOCHARIAN-ERDOGAN MEETING IN WARSAW
YEREVAN, MAY 12, ARMENPRESS: Armenian foreign minister Vartan Oskanian
said today there was no arrangement yet about a meeting between Armenian
president and Turkish prime minister, who Turkish press reports claim are
supposed to meet in Warsaw later this week on the sidelines of a Council of
Europe summit.
Speaking to reporters today in Yerevan, Oskanian said none of the sides,
nor a third party had asked officially for the meeting. "At this moment the
possibility of a meeting is being discussed only by media," Oskanian said.

the two presidents may discuss Oskanian said: "The positions of Turkey and
Armenia are very clear and definite... If Turkey agrees to discuss
normalization of relations, opening of borders without preconditions, the
presidents may focus on bilateral relations and if Turkey drops its policy
of making normalization of relations contingent on a third party, I believe
this may open good prospects for a progress."
Oskanian said he will meet with OSCE Minsk group cochairmen from USA,
France and Russia on May 14 in Polish Krakow. He said the agenda will have
issues which are being discussed in the format of so-called Prague Process.
"The agenda includes all issues-beginning from Karabagh political status and
ending with security issues," Oskanian said. Oskanian reminded that the
international peace brokers are not going to present any document to both
countries' presidents. "The process has not yet reached a point to give
birth to such a document, "Oskanian said
