OVER QARABAQ CONFLICT

Foreign minister of Azerbaijan Elmar Mammadyarov says there is a need
for meeting between foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia ahead
of scheduled Warsaw meeting of Presidents. However Armenian foreign
minister Vardan Oscanian told earlier there was no topic for
discussion to make it necessary for minister to meet. The negotiation
process carried on the base of so-called Prague process. We are
holding discussions with co-chairs. We have determined in which
direction we need to continue. I think there is a need for foreign
ministers to meet ahead of Warsaw meeting. It willhelp us to see the
situation. Azerbaijani side supports negotiation process though
mediation of the co-chairs. Co-chairs also propose to continue one on
one negotiations.
