    Azeri presid notes positive changes in OSCE Minsk group work


    BAKU, May 5 (Itar-Tass) - Azerbaijani president Ilkham Aliyev has
    noted positive changes in the activities of the Minsk Group of the
    Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) on Nagorno
    Karabakh.

    Aliyev told journalists on Wednesday, `the activity of the Minsk
    Group has become noticeable, its co-chairmen are persistently seeking
    solution to the problem.'

    The Azerbaijani president believes the settlement process is underway
    although not very actively.

    President Aliyev expressed the hope that the negotiations on the
    Karabakh conflict settlement with mediation of the OSCE Group,
    co-chaired by Russia, France and the United States, will bring
    concrete results.

    `If we did not believe in that there would be no sense in conducting
    talks,' the head of Azerbaijan stressed.

    He positively assessed meetings held between the Azerbaijani and
    Armenian presidents in Geneva in December 2003 and in Warsaw in April
    2004, as well as talks held at the level of the two states' foreign
    ministers.

    The next meeting of the foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia
    with participation of co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group will be held
    in Strasbourg on May 12.

    On this day ten days ago the two sides reached an agreement on
    ceasefire on the Karabakh conflict zone which is still being
    observed.
