“PACKAGE” OF PROPOSALS IS EXAGGERATION: ARMENIA’S FM

YEREVAN, APRIL 13. ARMINFO. The London meeting does not imply direct
talks between the Armenian and Azeri FMs, says Armenia’s FM Vardan
Oskanyan.

This is not the first Oskanyan-Mamedyarov meeting for making a stir
about it. There are no obstacles to such meetings. It was the decision
of the OSCE MG co-chairs to hold “indirect” talks this time. They
consider this format more expedient for the current stage. “This means
that we will be in one city, even in one building but in different
rooms. The co-chairs will meet separately with me and Mamedyarov. If
necessary they will meet with us again. But no Oskanyan-Mamedyarov
meeting is planned for this time,” says Oskanyan.

He calls exaggeration the reports that a “package” of proposals will
be discussed during the talks. Simply the co-chairs need to know the
views of the presidents on certain issues. “I cannot say if one can
call a package a few issues,” says Oskanyan noting that there is no
agreement on a meeting by the presidents yet.

In conclusion Oskanyan notes that the international community is not
pressuring the conflicting parties in the peace process.
