    Tuesday at the French Permanent Representation to the Council of
    Europe in Strasbourg.

    Fassier (France), Matthew Bryza (USA) and Yuriy Merzlyakov (Russia),
    as well as Special Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office
    Anndrzej Kasprzyk attended the meeting, which had a character of
    acquaintance, because Armenian foreign minister is
    newly-appointed. Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Elmar Mammadyarov
    called the meeting as a constructive and said they had held
    discussions on the meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents. The
    Minister said there were several options suggested for the meeting of
    the presidents. `Possibility of the meeting in June is discussed at
    present, but we will report to the presidents about our meeting. The
    presidents will decide on the meeting themselves'. Mammadyarov said
    the next meeting of foreign ministers would depend on the reaction of
    the presidents to this meeting, if the leaders consider necessary for
    them to meet once more they will meet.
    Mammadyarov noted that there were both will and opportunities to
    develop the negotiations. `We are two neighboring countries and we
    cannot run away to every each way and we should find solution to the
    deadlock'.
    Armenian foreign minister Edward Nalbandian also called the meeting as
    a constructive and said it had a character of acquaintance. `We voiced
    positions of the sides once more. First of all we agreed to develop
    the negotiations. Generally I am optimist not only for today's
    meeting. We are two neighboring peoples and should live peacefully. I
    consider we can find the solutions to the problem between our
    countries'.
    OSCE Minsk Group Russian Co-Chair Yuriy Merzlyakov also expressed
    satisfaction with the meeting.
