/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group released the
following statement:
"Armenian President Serzh Sargsian and Azerbaijani President Ilham
Aliev met in Moscow on July 17-18 to discuss issues related to the
settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
During the meeting on July 17, the sixth since June 2008, the
Presidents held a tete-a-tete discussion and extensive talks with
the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs: Ambassador Yuri Merzlyakov (Russia),
Ambassador Bernard Fassier (France), and Deputy Assistant State
Secretary of State Matthew Bryza (United States), in the presence of
the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chair-in-Office Ambassador
Andrzej Kasprzyk.
On July 18, the Presidents were received by Russian President Dmitri
Medvedev.
The discussions were held in a frank and constructive atmosphere
that allowed the sides to discuss at length and in detail proposed
formulations to overcome their remaining differences on the few
elements of the Basic Principles that have yet to be conceptually
agreed.
The Minsk Group Co-Chairs informed the two Presidents they will hold
a working session at the end of July in Krakow, Poland, to prepare
an updated version of the Madrid Document in accordance with the
'L'Aquila Declaration' of Presidents Barack Obama, Dmitri Medvedev
and Nicholas Sarkozy.
The Co-Chairs intend to visit the region in September to assess
the possibilities for a subsequent meeting between the Armenian and
Azerbaijani Presidents either at the end of September or the beginning
of October."
