Azeri, Armenian foreign ministers to meet in Prague next week
Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign ministers Elmar Mammadyarov and
Vardan Oskanian will meet in Prague for the fifth time on January 11.
The two ministers will focus on certain issues pertaining to the
Upper Garabagh conflict settlement, Deputy Foreign Minister and the
President’s special envoy on Upper Garabagh Araz Azimov said.
Azimov noted that Armenia’s policy of illegal settlement of
population in the occupied lands of Azerbaijan will be discussed. The
parties will also consider issues related to the visit by the OSCE
fact-finding mission to the region scheduled for late January-early
February.
The last Prague meeting of the two foreign ministers took place in
spring 2004, while the meeting originally scheduled for September had
been postponed on a request of the Armenian side.
The two ministers also held talks in Berlin in November, in Sofia
early in December and later in Brussels.*
