/PanARMENIAN.Net/ OSCE Minsk Group French Co-chair, Ambassador Bernard
Fassier was in Ankara yesterday for several meetings including one
with Ambassador Ertugrul Apakan, the undersecretary of the Foreign
Ministry. This was Fassier's first visit to the Turkish capital in
his capacity as a Co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group - a post he assumed
in 2004.
"The meeting between Apakan and Fassier focused on exchanging
views concerning the current phase in the process of resolving the
Nagorno Karabakh dispute in the light of a recent meeting between the
presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan, which took place in Prague on
May 7," Today's Zaman cited a source as saying.
"During the meeting with Fassier, the Turkish side reiterated its
continued support of the OSCE Minsk Group as a permanent member that
had been there from its inception," the source said.
While speaking to reporters over the weekend in Baku ahead of
his departure for Ankara, Fassier was quoted by the Azerbaijani
media as saying: "This is one of the usual discussions between the
members of the Minsk Group France and Turkey. We will discuss all
current issues. There have recently been many visits from Turkey to
Azerbaijan. We will discuss them."
