'No need for ministers' meeting' - Armenian FM
Assa-Irada, Azerbaijan

Baku, May 5, AssA-Irada
Armenian foreign minister may meet with the mediating OSCE Minsk
Group co-chairs in Warsaw several days prior to the meeting of the
Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents, PanArmenian news agency quoted
Vardan Oskanian as saying.
"The agreement on the meeting of Presidents Robert Kocharian and Ilham
Aliyev is of preliminary nature at this point. The precise date of
my meeting with the co-chairs has not been specified yet either",
the Armenian minister told journalists in Yerevan.
Commenting on the meeting with his Azeri counterpart in Frankfurt he
avoided earlier, Oskanian said 'its timing was inconvenient and the
MG co-chairs were informed of this'.
"There was no need to meet in one place and at the same time. A month
ago the Azeri and Armenian ministers exhausted their authority, which
ruled out the need for meetings in a separate format. The ministers
have done all they could."
Oskanian added that a meeting of the two countries' Presidents is
necessary at this stage.*
