    ArmInfo. The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Ambassadors Yury
    Merzlyakov of Russia, Bernard Fassier of France, and Robert Bradtke of
    the United States, released the following statement today:

    "The newly-appointed United States' Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group
    Ambassador Robert Bradtke invited French Co-Chair Ambassador Bernard
    Fassier, Russian Co-Chair Ambassador Yury Merzlyakov, and Personal
    Representative of the Chairman-in-Office Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk to
    Washington D.C. September 24 for consultations. The Co-Chairs met with
    Dr. Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, Senior Director for European Affairs at
    the National Security Council and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State
    Tina Kaidanow.

    The Co-Chairs met September 25 in New York with Azerbaijani Foreign
    Minister Elmar Mammadyarov and Armenian Foreign Minister Edward
    Nalbandian on the margins of the UN General Assembly. The two foreign
    ministers and the Co-Chairs reaffirmed a commitment to negotiations
    based on the Basic Principles, and discussed upcoming travel of the
    Co-Chairs to the region in early October.

    As agreed in Moscow July 18, the Co-Chairs will travel to Armenia and
    Azerbaijan to prepare for a proposed meeting between President Aliyev
    and President Sargsian in Chisinau on the margins of the CIS Summit.

    At this important moment in the negotiating process, the Co-Chairs
    called on both sides to be constructive in their public statements."
