YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 4, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. "The Armenian
side did not confirm a meeting between me and the Azerbaijani foreign
minister Elmar Mamedyarov on September 12, and this position will
depend on further developments at other instances," the Armenian
Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian stated during a talk with reporters
on September 4. In his words, there must be no additional obstacles
so that the meeting will be successful: "If any obstacles arise
prior to the meeting, they should be overcome and only after that,
a meeting should be organized." As regards the harsh statements of
Baku, the minister noted that these statements do not correspond to
the contents of the present document. At the same time, he said that
Baku's harsh statements should not be completely disregarded: "Only
by returning to the negotiating table, we can make sure whether what
is going on in Baky is their policy indeed or they want to continue
negotiations in the spirit of the current document."
