Osce Minsk Group Co-Chairs Matthew Bryza (U.S.), Bernard Fassier
(France) And Yuri Merzlyakov (Russia) Have Finalized Their Visit
To Azerbaijan.
"AN AGREEMENT TO CONTINUE TALKS ON THE BASIS OF MADRID PROPOSALS WAS
ACHIEVED," AMBASSADOR MERZLYAKOV SAID.
He reminded that two weeks have passed since the St. Petersburg meeting
between the Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents and said the co-chairs
try not to lose the time.
For his part, Amb. Fassier said the co-chairs didn't submit
any new proposals. "We are trying to clarify some provisions of
Madrid proposals and introduce some amendments to improve them. The
presidents appreciated their meeting in St. Petersburg as positive
and constructive. Our meetings in Azerbaijan were also positive and
constructive, but we have huge work ahead".
Commenting on the visit, U.S. Co-chair Matt Bryza said, "We will
leave for Yerevan and then for Stepanakert. Essentially we will learn
Yerevan's attitude about Madrid proposals. This visit is not different
from previous ones. Simply, it is our first visit to the region after
the presidential meeting in St. Petersburg. The Presidents should
keep intercourse with each other but first the Foreign Ministers
should meet to coordinate some issues," the Azeri Press Agency reports.
