Armenian and Azeri foreign ministers will meet on October 6 in Moscow,
OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs told a press conference late today. In
their words, the foreign ministers will have another meeting after
this one followed by a meeting on the level of presidents.
Russian co-chair said the negotiations will run around the known
document.
Yesterday the co-chairs met with Azeri president and foreign
minister. Today, they had a meeting with the Armenian president and
foreign minister and tomorrow they will meet with the president of
Nagorno Karabakh.
The major aim of co-chairs' visit is to establish links between the
leadership of the two countries.
Yuri Merzliakov said they have reached that aim.
All chairmen affirmed that they are optimistic about the continuation
of talks. "Nagorno Karabakh conflict has no military solution,"
American co-chair Matthew Bryza said, also saying Minsk Group process
has got a new push. "We do not say that we expect sharp changes now
or that all difficulties are over. However, we observe the readiness
of both sides to deliberate issues and move forward," he said. In his
opinion, both sides have low trust to each other, which is caused by
dissemination of inaccurate information.
The co-chairs think it expedient to continue talks around the same
document because three things have become clear after July when the
co-chair said they have no more creativity. First, the co-chairs have
understood that the sides cannot make much progress without their
mediation. Second, there are two co-chairs with records in Karabakh
conflict settlement. Third, Matthew Bryza is a person with lots of
creativity. Based on these factors, the co-chairs have decided to
continue based on the document, which have become known to public
recently.
The co-chairs say they did not violate the principle of secrecy
when they released information on the document on the table of talks
because only one principle became public.
