ARMENIAN FM AND CO-CHAIRS OF OSCE MINSK GROUP TO MEET A DAY OF
TWO BEFORE POSSIBLE MEETING OF ARMENIAN AND AZERBAIJANI PRESIDENTS
IN WARSAW

YEREVAN, MAY 5. ARMINFO. The meeting of Armenian Foreign Minister
Vardan Oskanyan with the Co-Chairs of OSCE Minsk Group on settlement
of Karabakh conflict will take place a day of two days before possible
meeting of Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents in Warsaw within the
frameworks of the CE Summit. Armenian Foreign Minister made this
statement at a press conference today.

In response to the question why he did not leave for a meeting in
Frankfurt, wherein the meeting of Azerbaijani Foreign Minister and
the Co-Chairs took place, Vardan Oskanyan said that his participation
was not planned beforehand. He said that the Co-Chairs were also
informed that the date of Frankfurt meetings were not convenient for
me, the minister said. At the same time, he said that the meetings
of the foreign ministers with the co-chairs were to be separate,
so there was no need for them to take place the same day in the
same place. Minister Oskanyan pointed out that there is no need in
a meeting of the foreign ministers as the next step rests upon the
presidents. He said that the minister have already reached the moment
when their powers are exhausted sop the Co-Chairs started separate
meetings with them trying to deepen several issues. As regards the
meeting of presidents, the minister said that there is a preliminary
mutual desire, but there is no specific agreement.
