    Armenian, Azerbaijani presidents to meet in Romania


    The presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan will meet in Romania,
    possibly next month, government spokesmen said Friday, for talks
    aimed at resolving a nearly two-decade conflict over the disputed
    enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh.
    Government officials in Yerevan, Armenia and the Azerbaijani capital
    Baku both confirmed that Armenian President Robert Kocharian and his
    Azerbaijani counterpart, Ilham Aliev, were intending to meet, but
    gave no further details.
    The two Caucasus leaders are expected to attend a forum for Black Sea
    countries scheduled for June 5 in the Romanian capital.
    Talks held between the two presidents in France in February ended in
    failure, despite international mediators' efforts to push the leaders
    to resolve Nagorno-Karabakh's status.
    The enclave is inside Azerbaijan but populated mostly by ethnic
    Armenians, who have administrated it since an uneasy 1994 cease-fire
    ended six years of full-scale fighting.
    Sporadic border clashes have grown more frequent since the breakdown
    of talks and the lack of resolution has hindered development
    throughout the strategic Caucasus region.
