The OSCE Minsk group Co-chairs are not going organize the meeting of
the Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents on May 9 in Moscow. OSCE Minsk
group co-head Yuriy Merzlyakovhas informed the Azerbaijani agency
«Apa» about it. The negotiations with the Azerbaijani Foreign
Minister Elmar Mamedyarov on April 27 in Frankfurt were appreciated
by Merzlyakov as very useful, «We did good work».
At present the co-chairs are doing preliminary work to prepare the
meeting of the Foreign Ministers. The place and date of the meeting
is being decided upon. «The meeting can take place in Moscow, Warsaw
or another European city, 1-2 days before the EU Summit meeting»,
said Yuri Merzlyakov.
He does not exclude the possibility that after the meeting with
Oskanyan the meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents
can be organized. It can take place on May 16-17 in Warsaw during
the EU Summit. «After the meeting of the Presidents the negotiation
process may return to its previous format, when the negotiations will
be held with the two Foreign Ministers at a time», said the Minsk
group co-chair.
As for the Ad-hoc Committee on the settlement of the Karabakh conflict
created within the OSCE framework, Yuriy Merzlyakovdoes not agree
with the opinion that the Committee can be an alternative to the
Minsk group. He has also informed that the Minsk group Co-chairs are
not going to visit the region.
