    the co-chairmen tackled with organizing of the meeting with the
    Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Vardan Oskanyan. According
    to his words, they work on the variants of planning the place and
    time of the meeting to be held: "The meeting could either be spent
    in Moscow or in Warsaw 2 days before the summit of Council of Europe,

    and the Minsk Group: "Forming of such committee was put forward in
    the report of David Atkinson. The secretary general of Council of
    Europe declared that this committee cannot replace the Minsk Group,
    and its main task is connected with human rights".

    He also stated that the co-chairmen aren't going to visit the region
    recently.
