    CO-CHAIRS TO POSE QUESTION TO OSKANIAN AND MAMEDIAROV IN LONDON

    AZG Armenian Daily #063, 09/04/2005
    Karabakh issue

    The OSCE Minsk group co-chairs are going to hold separate meetings
    with foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan in London, April
    15. According to reliable diplomatic sources, Vartan Oskanian and
    Elmar Mamediarov will be asked some questions to clarify Yerevan's
    and Baku's positions.

    Official Yerevan does not confirm Baku's statements that Oskanian
    and Mamediarov will meet in London. Mamediarov himself and deputy
    foreign minister, Araz Azimov, stated days ago that indeed he will
    meet his Armenian counterpart in London.

    According to April 8 publications of the Azeri press, Araz Azimov
    said that there are "key elements" in the Armenian-Azeri confrontation
    that demand solution in the course of settlement process. Those "key
    elements", as Azimov sees them, are the elimination of the conflict's
    aftereffects, i.e. withdrawal of Armenian forces from the supervised
    territories, revival of the infrastructures, return of the refugees
    and solution of political issues.

    Azimov said that Baku keeps claiming return of the 7 regions but
    meanwhile it considers difficulties connected with "simultaneous
    liberation of the territories" and accepts the stage-by-stage
    variant. To put it simply, Baku will not be against if Armenia
    gradually leaves the security zone. The Azeri press keeps silent as
    to what Baku will offer Nagorno Karabakh against the removal.

    By the way, the issues on the agenda of Armenian and Azerbaijani
    presidents have been specified. According to information we possess,
    there are 4 issues concerning the status of Nagorno Karabakh and
    elimination of aftereffects of the conflict -- buffer zone, guarantees,
    return of the refugees etc.
