YEREVAN, June 4. /ARKA/. The RA Foreign Office hopes for positive
results of the upcoming meeting between Armenian and Azerbaijani
Presidents Serge Sargsyan and Ilkham Aliyev, stated RA Foreign Minister
Edward Nalbandyan.
"It is the way it must be. Otherwise, a strange situation will
develop, and the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmen will have to make
certain conclusions," the Minister told a news conference.
The Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders are to meet in Saint Petersburg
on June 6. It will be the first meeting after Serge Sargsyan's election
as RA President.
Minister Nalbandyan pointed out the necessity for avoiding steps that
would torpedo a peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
on the threshold of this important meeting. He reported that, after
their meeting, the two countries' Presidents are likely to instruct
the Foreign Ministers to continue the negotiations.
It is a statement on further negotiations that will be a positive
result of the meeting. Nothing more should be expected after the
first meeting, the Minister said.
Nalbandyan also reported that, at a news conference held jointly with
RF Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, the sides stressed the necessity
for a peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Since 1992, negotiations for the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict have been conducted within the OSCE Minsk Group co-chaired
by the USA, Russia and France.
