There were no statements after today's meeting of Robert Kocharyan
and Ilham Aliev. And we can only guess what the two Presidents
discussed during the meetings and what offers were made for the
peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict.
The announcement of Daniel Fried, Assistant Secretary for the Bureau
of European and Eurasian Affairs sheds some light on the issue,
"The co-chairs have offered several ideas which can be basis for the
settlement of the conflict. We have offered the ideas to the heads
of the countries neutrally, without being for or against them. But
as representatives of the USA I have said that we want to see the
territories returned to Azerbaijan and the Azeri people return to
their native lands. We see the interests of both countries. There
are a number of variants. We have offered the most optimal variant
and now everything depends on the Presidents. We think that they are
both serious people. They will investigate the offers made by us.
We do not want to exercise pressure upon them. We just want to help
them as a friend".
