The meeting of Azerbaijan's and Armenia's Presidents Ilham Aliyev
and Robert Kocharian today in Bucharest with participation of OSCE
Minsk Group co-chairs failed to have any results.
APA reports quoting American co-chair Steven Mann as saying to Radio
Liberty that the presidents had very intense discussions. The co-chairs
will discuss the results of the talks and plan further steps. They will
report about it in the upcoming meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council.
Mr.Mann said there was a good atmosphere in the talks, "I'll not
inform about the content of the discussions. I can say it was a
detailed discussion."
Responding to the question "What is the difference between today's
talks and the previous talks in Rambouillet," the co-chair said,
"We had a detailed discussion. Yesterday evening and today, the
Presidents had one-one meeting and with presence of the co-chairs. We
are on the stage of detailed discussion."
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov told the Radio Liberty
that the issues dividing them are related to general principles,
"Azerbaijan's position remains unchanged."
Mammadyarov also said the Ministers may meet if it is necessary.
Though the Presidents expected to sign a joint Declaration, they
failed to do it.
