    Armenian ministry questions Azeri report of US-French-Russian secret talks

    Yerevan, 19 July: The Armenian Foreign Ministry has questioned the
    authenticity of a report by the Azerbaijani newspaper Ayna, quoted by
    Radio Liberty, saying that "Washington has launched secret talks with
    Moscow and Paris in order to expand the composition of the OSCE Minsk
    Group co-chairs on the settlement of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict".

    "We doubt the authenticity of this report. It is impossible to
    change the composition of the co-chairmen without the consent of the
    conflicting parties," Vladimir Karapetyan, acting press secretary of
    the Armenian Foreign Ministry,
    has told our Arminfo correspondent.

    According to diplomatic sources, the Azerbaijani newspaper maintains
    that the USA wants to see Britain, Germany and Turkey among the
    co-chairmen. "If the negotiations are successful, the conflicting
    parties will be informed about this," the newspaper reports.

    At the same time, the author of the article expressed his doubts that
    the negotiations will yield results soon, since Armenia is against
    expanding the format of the co-chairmen.
