The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs ended their visit to Azerbaijan. They
met with President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and Minister of Foreign
Affairs Elmar Mammadyarov on Thursday and left Baku for Yerevan.
French co-chair Bernard Fassier told journalists at the Baku
International Airport that they will meet with President of Armenia
Serzh Sargsyan and Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian.
He said the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs Yuri Popov (Russian) and
Robert Bradtke (USA) are expected to return to Baku after the
meetings in Yerevan. Bernard Fassier will fly to Paris to inform
President of France Nicolas Sarkozy, Prime Minister Francois Fillon
and newly-appointed Foreign Minister Michele Alliot-Marie about the
process of the settlement of Nagonro Karabakh conflict. Fassier said
all of three co-chairs would visit Astana on November 29.
Bernard Fassier spoke about the talks they held in Azerbaijan.
"We met with the President and Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan
yesterday. It is difficult to say anything now because our visit has
not been ended yet. Perhaps something will be clear after the meeting
we will hold in Yerevan."
Fassier said it is impossible to say what format the presidents will
use to meet in Astana.
"It is impossible to plan the presidents' meeting no sooner than a week
because we are ordinary mediators. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev,
French Prime Minister Francois Fillon and US Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton are expected to attend the OSCE Summit in Astana."
The OSCE Minsk Group co-chair Yuri Popov (Russia) said during the
meetings in Baku they discussed the format of the meeting between
the presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia in Astana. "This is a
confidential issue and therefore we can not publicize the essence of
the negotiations," APA cited him as saying.
