FRANKFURT
2005-04-26 19:05

The following round of negotiations over the settlement of Daqliq
Qarabaq conflict within the so-called Prague process will take place
on April 27 in Frankfurt city of Germany. OSCE Minsk group co-chairs
will have meeting with foreign minister of Azerbaijan. Foreign
minister Elmar Mammadyarov is leaving for Frankfurt together with US
co-chair Steven Mann visiting Baku. Exact date for the meeting of the
co-chairs with Armenian foreign minister will be determined after
negotiations in Germany informed ANS Russian co-chair to Minsk group
Yuriy.Merzlyakov. It is better to get to know details of the
negotiation process during separate meeting with foreign ministers.
It is very important for us to get to know positions of the sides in
details. We must conclude the details and present to the sides and
find touching points. Following meeting between Presidents of
Azerbaijan and Armenia seems not to depend on the this meeting much
more as thinks Russian co-chair. There always issues for the
Presidents to discuss and we need discussion with them. I am hopeful
to get final reply in Frankfurt and consider it will make certain
issues clear ahead of that meeting. Mr. Yuriy Merzlyakov didn’t rule
out possibility of discussing regular breach of ceasefire during the
meeting.
