VARDAN OSKANYAN: PARTIES ARE TOO FAR FROM SIGNING ANY DOCUMENT ON
KARABAKH

A meeting of Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents Robert Kocharyan and
Ilham Aliyev will most probably be held on June 4 in Bucharest,
Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan has announced. According to
him, on the negotiation table there is a document on some principles
of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement, which will be worked out
by the presidents. `If the parties come to an agreement on those
principles, the paper will become a document,’ Oskanyan is quoted as
saying. Answering the question by a REGNUM correspondent whether there
will be n opportunity to sign any document in Bucharest, the Armenian
minister is reported as saying `the situation is too far from it.’
`The parties should agree on some principles, after that we can speak
of a document,’ Vardan Oskanyan stressed.
