“The Armenian party is not going to make assessment of the past talks
in Bucharest,” Armenia’s Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan told a news
conference in Yerevan.

In his words, he may soon meet with his Azerbaijani counterpart Elmar
Mammadyarov. As of the outcomes of the two Presidents meeting in
Bucharest, Oskanian reminded Kocharian”s words before that meeting
that he has “modest expectations from the talks.”

“This was the case. As of further talks, Armenian and Azerbaijani
Foreign Ministers will meet soon. I should note that it seems after
any talks that dialogue opportunities are exhausted. This is not so.

I should again underscore there is no military solution to the Nagorno
Garabagh conflict,” the Armenian FM said.

At that he said that the talks have their own logic, “It lies in
every party thinking each time that it is worth meeting and some
agreement can be reached in a way. It does not turn out each time as
the parties want. However, this does not mean talks should be stopped,”
Oskanyan underscored.
