/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Today there are no opportunities for rapprochement
of Yerevan and Baku positions over settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict, Armenian FM Vartan Oskanian stated at a joint news conference
with Lebanese FM Fawzi Salloukh in Yerevan today.
There are no contacts between Armenia and Azerbaijan today, he
underscored. The Minister added that the planned visit of the US
Co-Chair of the OSCE MG Matthew Bryza to the region may stimulate
establishing contacts between Armenia and Azerbaijan. However Vartan
Oskanian did not state the American party will assume that initiative.
Speaking on the closing of the Russian-Georgian border the Armenian
FM noted that resumption of the work of Kazbegi-Upper Lars checkpoint
is very important. In his words Georgian authorities promoted Yerevan
and allowed passage of 17 cars through territory of South Ossetia,
however, this does not solve the problem.
Oskanian hoped for soonest solution of the issue, adding that talks
are held with the Russian party on the matter.
