Nagorno Karabakh conflict did not decease after Rambouillet, it
continues,” stated OSCE Minsk Group French Co-Chair Bernard Fassier
at a news conference in Yerevan. In his words, the possibility of a
meeting of Armenian and Azeri FMs is not ruled out in May.

Speaking of the schedule of the OSCE MG visits to the region, Bernard
Fassier remarked, “the co-chairs visit the region in compliance with
a clear agreement and after consultations among themselves. After the
Easter (April 16) US mediator Steven Mann will arrive in the region. I
will leave for Moscow from Yerevan. There I will meet with Russian
Co-Chair Yuri Merzlyakov and Russian Deputy FM Grigory Karasin,”
he remarked.

The diplomat also said the MG intends to form new conditions for a
meeting of Armenian and Azeri Presidents. “Nothing is decided yet,
however we want very much the meeting to be held in June admittedly
and in a venue, where the Presidents will agree to meet,” the French
diplomat said.
