Armenpress
YEREVAN, JULY 20, ARMENPRESS: Armenia has questioned today the veracity
of media reports in Azerbaijan claiming that Washington was holding
secret talks with Paris and Moscow in an effort to snatch out their
accord for enlargement of the make-up of the so-called OSCE Minsk
group cochairmen, who are the only authorized international mediating
group spearheading talks for ending the Karabakh conflict.
Vladimir Karapetian, an acting spokesman for Armenian foreign ministry,
told Armenpress that the composition of the Minsk group cochairman
could be changed only with permission of Armenia and Azerbaijan.
"We doubt the veracity of these reports in Azerbaijani media," he
said, adding that no US officials had approached Armenia to learn
its attitude.
