Baku, 10 May: The co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group expect Baku
and Yerevan to react in Strasbourg to the proposals made during a
recent visit to the region by the French co-chairman of the OSCE
Minsk Group, Bernard Fassier, the Russian co-chairman of the group,
Yuriy Merzlyakov, has told Trend.

“Some new proposals”, as well as more specific details of the previous
discussions, were submitted to the Azerbaijani and Armenian leaders on
behalf of the OSCE Minsk Group during Fassier’s visit, Merzlyakov said.

“I think that it was a very important visit after our (OSCE Minsk Group
co-chairmen’s) meeting in Moscow to finally agree on the proposals,”
he said.

The Russian diplomat said that both sides will carefully examine the
ideas that will be agreed later.

Merzlyakov said that he was not ready to comment on the possible
meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents. The co-chairmen
will work on this issue, he said.
