The co-chairmen of the Minsk Group, a body appointed by the
Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe to mediate in the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, will hold a few meetings on the revision
of the "Madrid principles" proposed by mediator countries, French
co-chairman Bernard Fassier said.

Fassier told Armenian state news agency Armenpress he would visit
Armenia and Azerbaijan early in September, that the group's American
co- chairman, Matthew Bryza, would visit the two countries in August,
and that all the co-chairmen would visit the region late in September.

Fassier said all visits by the group's co-chairmen are aimed at
promoting dialogue between Armenia and Azerbaijan and at having them
bring their positions closer together.
