/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The meeting of Armenian Foreign Minister with
OSCE MG Ambassadors may take place in Warsaw a few days before the
meeting of the Armenian and Azeri Presidents, Armenian FM Vartan
Oskanian stated at a press conference in Yerevan today. In his words,
the arrangement on the meeting of Robert Kocharian with Ilham Aliyev
is of preliminary nature and the time of the Armenian FM’s meeting
with the mediators is not specified yet. When commenting on the
might-have-been meeting with his Azeri counterpart in Frankfurt,
although the OSCE MG Co-Chairs have made a statement on it, Mr.
Oskanian said the time of the meeting was not convenient for him and
the Co-Chairs were informed about it. He noted, there was no need to
meet in the same place at the same time. In his words, the Armenian
and Azeri FMs reached a point, when their commission was complete,
thus the need for private format meetings was no longer relevant. “The
Ministers did everything that could be done,” Oskanian stated. He
also noted that a need for a meeting of the Presidents of Armenia
and Azerbaijan appeared at that stage.
