During the meeting in Bucharest scheduled June 4-5 Presidents of
Armenia and Azerbaijan Robert Kocharyan and Ilham Aliev will be
suggested a document of principles of the Karabakh conflict settlement.

In case the parties agree upon the document, it will take the
shape of an agreement, RA Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan told
“Armenpress.” According to the Minister, no document is expected to
be signed in Bucharest; the parties “are still too far from signing a
document,” up to now some of the principles have not been agreed upon.

According to Vardan Oskanyan, progress in the settlement may be
expected any time. At this point, however, it depends on the meeting
of the Presidents.

In the Minister’s words, the visit of the high officials of the OSCE
Minsk Group Co-Chair countries and the Special Representative of the
OSCE Chairman-in-Office aimed at emphasizing the importance of the
next meeting of Presidents.

To remind, the meeting of the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan
will be arranged in the framework of the “Dialogue and Cooperation”
summit of the Black Sea countries.
