    4TH MEETING OF OSKANIAN AND MAMEDIAROV TOOK PLACE

    Azat Artsakh - Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR)
    4 Sept 04

    Despite the recent statements of the Azerbaijani foreign minister
    allowing to think that the meeting of the foreign ministers of Armenia
    and Azerbaijan would not take place, it nevertheless took place
    in Prague on August 30. This was the fourth meeting on the level
    of foreign ministers. As we had forecast, there was not much to be
    expected from this meeting. According to the RA foreign minister,
    "The only expectation was that the Armenian party may continue and
    lead to its logical end what they had undertaken, at last making
    it clear on what basis the talks between the two countries will
    go on." According to the press service of the Ministry of Foreign
    Affairs of RA, the American, Russian and French co-chairmen of the
    Minsk Group Stephen Mann, Youri Merzlyakov and Henry Jacolin also
    took part in the meeting of Oskanian and Mamediarov. The personal
    representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk was
    also present at the meeting. This meeting, as the previous ones,
    did not have a special agenda. The ministers of foreign affairs of
    Armenia and Azerbaijan went on discussing questions referring to the
    prospect of regulation of the Nagorni Karabakh conflict. According
    to the participants, the meeting was useful and positive. After the
    meeting the RA minister of foreign affairs told the journalists that
    the newly appointed ambassador of the USA in Armenia John Evans who has
    recently arrived in Yerevan, must actively get involved in the talks
    for the settlement of the Karabakh problem. As to the effectiveness
    of the meeting, Oskanian noticed that this was an ordinary meeting
    of which no results should be anticipated. "There may be news only
    after the meeting of presidents," said Vardan Oskanian. Therefore
    we may state that the fourth meeting of Oskanian and Mamediarov did
    not produce any results, at best it prepared for the next meeting
    between Kocharian and Aliev. Let us hope that at least that meeting
    will promote positive changes in favour of the peaceful regulation
    of the Karabakh conflict.

    CHRISTINE MNATSAKANIAN.
