    The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group released the following statement
    today:

    "The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group (Ambassador Yuri Merzlyakov
    - Russian Federation; Ambassador Bernard Fassier - France; Deputy
    Assistant Secretary of State Matthew Bryza - United States) took part
    with the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office
    Andrej Kasprzyk in the meeting of President of Azerbaijan Ilham
    Aliyev and President of Armenia Serge Sargsyan in Saint Petersburg,
    Russia on 4 June 2009.

    This meeting was the fifth since June 2008 when the Presidents met
    for the first time.

    During their tete-a-tete conversation as well as at the working session
    held afterwards with the Minsk Group Co-Chairs and the Ministers of
    Foreign Affairs, the Presidents discussed the overall conception of
    the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement advanced by the mediators
    and reviewed some of the elements of the proposed settlement that
    have not yet been agreed.

    The conversation took place in a constructive atmosphere and resulted
    in positive steps that narrowed the differences between the two
    countries on a number of the Basic Principles of the settlement.

    Because of these positive developments in their discussion, both
    Presidents asked the mediators to continue their shuttle diplomacy and
    to open a new and major subject outlined by the Madrid Document which,
    according to their views, still remains the basis of the negotiation.

    In addition, the two Presidents agreed on the mediators' proposal
    for the Presidents to continue their meetings in the nearest future,
    if possible in July."
