[Announcer] The presidents of Bulgaria and Armenia - Georgi Purvanov
and Robert Kocharyan - expressed their satisfaction at the activation
of the negotiating process to find a solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict.
After their meeting in Yerevan the Armenian president especially
stressed the merit of our country, as OSCE chairman, and role of
Bulgarian Foreign Minister Solomon Pasi and his special envoy to
Nagorno-Karabakh, former Prime Minister Filip Dimitrov.
For his part President Georgi Purvanov said:
[Purvanov] We are inspired with hope at the activation of the talks on
Nagorno-Karabakh at the level of both Armenia and Azerbaijan
presidents and foreign ministers. We will continue to support such
efforts, as well as the activities of other groups involved in the
conflict. We hope that by the end of the Bulgarian chairmanship of
OSCE, or even afterward, a relatively lasting political solution to
this problem will be found, because, there is no substitute for a
political solution.
[Announcer] Bilateral relations and developing transportation links
were another topic of the Purvanov-Kocharyan talks. According to the
assurance of the cochairmen of the joint Bulgarian-Armenian
commission, a direct Sofia-Yerevan flight will be launched in the
coming months.
>From the statements of the two presidents it became clear that work
is being done to create a ferry-boat link between the two countries
with the participation of Russia.
