YEREVAN. Sept 2 (Interfax) – The Armenian and Azerbaijani foreign
ministers who held discussions in Prague on August 30 have described
the meeting as a step forward in the Karabakh settlement.

Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanian told the Armenian public
television that Armenia and Azerbaijan are laying a foundation for
further negotiations so that they can start discussing specific
aspects of the settlement process.

“The foundation has not been laid yet but we are working on it. I
positively regard the Prague meeting because it was the most important
of four contacts with my Azerbaijani colleague in laying the further
negotiations’ basis,” Oskanian said.

Armenian President Robert Kocharian and Azerbaijani President Ilham
Aliyev will meet again during a CIS summit in Astana in September.
