Karabakh peace talks to be held in London, Azeri foreign minister
Lider TV, Baku
1 Apr 05
[Presenter] The UN and other international organizations have been
informed of the latest truce violations [on the Armenian-Azerbaijani
contact line], Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov has told
Lider TV. The minister said that a meeting with his Armenian
counterpart Vardan Oskanyan would be held in London on 15 April. He
said that next meeting between the Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents
will depend on the results of the London talks.
[Passage omitted: reported details]
[Mammadyarov] A meeting will most probably be held in London on 15
April. The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen, the Armenian foreign minister
and I will be there. Presumably there is no need for a one-to-one
meeting [between the foreign ministers] now. The talks will take place
within the framework of the Prague process.
[Correspondent, over video of Mammadyarov] The talks are aimed at
facilitating a meeting between the presidents. Their meeting will
depend on the results of our talks.
[Mammadyarov] We can say after the talks if there is a need for the
presidents’ meeting. If there is an issue left and needed to be
discussed by the presidents, then they will hold a meeting. But there
might be no point in holding a meeting after the statements issued in
Yerevan.
[Correspondent] Mammadyarov also condemned the frequent truce
violations on the front line. The minister said the UN and other
international organizations are aware of the situation.
