President of Nagorno Karabakh Republic Arkady Ghukasyan was not able to
meet with the French co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group Bernard Fassier,
who visited Yerevan on May 3 and May 4. He arrived in the region to
introduce the findings of the May 2 consultation of the Mink Group
co-chairs in Moscow to the conflict sides. They failed to inform the
president of Karabakh, although Arkady Ghukasyan said Fassier was
likely to meet with him, and expressed this likelihood through his
representatives. "Fassier's representatives contacted me. Fassier
wanted to meet with me too, but since I could not, I arrived in
Yerevan yesterday. He asked me to arrive in the morning to meet with
him. Since I was told late, I would not reach there in the morning,
and later it was impossible to meet because he was going to leave in
the afternoon. Our meeting failed, though my representatives discussed
certain questions with his representatives," said NKR President Arkady
Ghukasyan on May 5.
He reasserted that he cannot see a near prospect of resolution of the
problem. Arkady Ghukasyan says from time to time he gets information
on settlement of the issue in July, but it is only information.
"You know that it is the continuation of the same year 2006.
Nothing should be denied. God willing, we will soon reach the
compromise that all the sides need, but no one can say whether it will
be in July, August or February," says Arkady Ghukasyan. He thinks that
the process is complicated and has many sides, the sides have different
standpoints which are difficult to combine, thinks Arkady Ghukasyan.
