    OSKANIAN SAYS ARMENIAN AND AZERI LEADERS LIKELY TO MEET NEXT MONTH

    YEREVAN, MAY 5, ARMENPRESS: Armenian foreign minister Vartan Oskanian
    said today Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents are likely to have
    another meeting early next month, but added there were no concrete
    arrangements about the venue and the date of the possible meeting of
    Robert Kocharian of Armenia and Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan.

    Speaking to journalists on the sidelines of "Armenia and the Council
    of Europe: Five Years of Membership" conference, kicked off today in
    Yerevan, Oskanian said the anticipated meeting may suffer a setback
    as the one earlier this year in the French castle of Rambouillet.

    Oskanian said again that Armenia had done everything it could and now
    the turn was for Azerbaijan to make its concessions in order to give
    a fresh push to the process of peaceful talks.

    "The problem now is to avoid a setback and we expect appropriate
    moves from Azerbaijan," he said, adding otherwise it would be very
    difficult to move forward. Oskanian downplayed media allegations that
    Aliyev's recent visit to Washington has given an additional weight to
    Azerbaijan's positions. "We know that Aliyev was made understand in
    Washington by very top US government officials that seeking a military
    solution to the Karabakh conflict is not an option. We appreciate it,"
    he said.
