Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan will leave for Paris on
June 13 to meet with his Azerbaijani counterpart Elmar Mammedyarov.

According to Vardan Oskanyan, the Kocharyan-Aliyev meeting in
Bucharest produced no results, however the presidents “agreed that
if the co-chairs find it convenient to organize a minister-level
meeting, they will be welcome.” “I think that we will be trying to
discuss the same issue and try to reach common approaches,” informed
Vardan Oskanyan.

Vardan Oskanyan does not know the agenda and the format of the meeting
in Paris, but Armenia has announced for a number of times that “there
are quite positive elements, unresolved issues and issues which used
to be complicated and defied any agreement for years on but there is
agreement on them today” on the table.

“The positive element is in the process, and we should do everything
to use this positive moment and try to bring the stances on the
unsettled issues closer and establish a possibility for the next
meeting of the presidents,” said Vardan Oskanyan. But he found it
difficult to say whether it will be a success or not.
