    Yerevan, 16 May: The Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents, Robert
    Kocharyan and Ilham Aliyev, have held talks in Warsaw, where both
    leaders are taking part in a summit of the Council of Europe.

    The Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents had made no statements for
    the press after their meeting in the Polish capital in the evening,
    on 15 May, a special Mediamax correspondent reported from Warsaw.

    Kocharyan and Aliyev started their meeting in the presence of
    the Russian and French foreign ministers, Sergey Lavrov and Michel
    Barnier; the Armenian and Azerbaijani foreign ministers and also the
    co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk group. Half an hour later the Armenian
    and Azerbaijani presidents continued the meeting for another two
    hours on a one-to-one basis.

    Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov refrained from making any
    comments. "I cannot comment on the issues which are being discussed
    by the Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents," the head of the Russian
    Foreign Ministry said.

    Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said that during the
    meeting with the Russian and French ministers, Kocharyan and Aliyev
    "summed up some results of the discussions within the Prague process".

    Mammadyarov noted that the Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders should
    have discussed some aspects of the Prague process. At the same time,
    the Azerbaijani foreign minister said that the presidents have not
    been discussing any specific plans for settling the Nagornyy Karabakh
    conflict. "The main problem is in the detail. We have managed to
    reach agreement on many issues, but there are some issues on which
    the positions of the sides differ strongly," Elmar Mammadyarov said.

    The head of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry expressed the hope that
    Robert Kocharyan and Ilham Aliyev's meeting in Warsaw "would allow
    them to look at what has been done up until now".
