Bernard Fassier: "The foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia may
need to meet once more before the meeting between the presidents"
06 May 2008 [13:58] - Today.Az
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov met with Armenian
foreign minister Edward Nalbandian on Tuesday in Strasbourg for the
first time, OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair Bernard Fassier told APA.
The co-chairs held consultative meeting on Monday in Strasbourg.
Today Bernard Fassier, Yuriy Merzlyakov and Matthew Bryza will hold
another meeting and then they will meet with Elmar Mammadyarov and
Edward Nalbandian separately.
Just only after that meeting, the foreign ministers and co-chairs will
come together.
Bernard Fassier said the co-chairs would give a dinner in honor of the
foreign ministers in the evening and would continue talks in an
unofficial atmosphere.
French Co-Chair said he was hopeful for the constructive negotiations.
"It is the first meeting between the ministers and of course, it has a
character of acquaintance and it is too early to speak about the
results".
The co-chair noted that the sides could discuss in which direction to
continue the talks.
"We hope necessary atmosphere will be created for continuation of the
talks. The foreign ministers may need to meet once more before the
meeting between the presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia. If it will
be necessary we are ready to organize this meeting. All things will
depend, of course, on the results of Tuesday meeting".
