  • Next Meeting Between Azeri And Armenian Foreign Ministers May Be Hel

    NEXT MEETING BETWEEN AZERI AND ARMENIAN FOREIGN MINISTERS MAY BE HELD EARLY NEXT YEAR

    Interfax
    Nov 28 2012
    Russia

    The OSCE Minsk Group's co-chairmen met Azerbaijani and Armenian
    officials in Baku and Yerevan to discuss new ideas aimed at
    accelerating the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement, co-chairman Igor Popov
    of Russia said on Monday.

    "While in Yerevan, we discussed these ideas with President Sargsian.

    Naturally, the Armenian side had its own suggestions and remarks that
    have not been fully formulated yet. We held similar discussions with
    President Aliyev and Foreign Minister Mammadyarov, and they too came
    up with their suggestions," Popov told Interfax after talks in Baku.

    "We hope that these suggestions will be taken into account during
    the next meeting between the two countries' foreign ministers we are
    planning to arrange," he said.

    No date for the meeting has been fixed yet.

    Popov doubts that it may take place on the sidelines of the annual
    ministerial session of the Organization for Security and Cooperation
    in Europe (OSCE) in Dublin in December because both ministers have
    a tight schedule.

    "More likely, it will be held early next year," the diplomat said.

    Co-chairman Robert Bradtke of the United States hailed the constructive
    atmosphere of the talks. The presidents will meet when the right
    time comes, he told Interfax, and until then, the co-chairmen will
    continue working with the foreign ministers.

    During their trip to the conflict zone, the co-chairmen also visited
    the Zangelan and Jabrail districts of Azerbaijan to see how the
    situation there has changed since their last visit in October 2010,
    the OSCE said in a statement circulated on Monday.

    The co-chairmen thanked the OSCE president's special representative
    Andrzej Kasprzyk and his team for monitoring the ceasefire in
    Nagorno-Karabakh.
