The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs on the resolution of the
Nagorno-Karabakh intend to carry out next round of consultations in
Paris early August, Russian Ambassador Yuriy Merzlyakov, the OSCE
Minsk Group co-chair told Trend in an exclusive interview.

The objective of the meeting is to hold consultations on the results
of a tour of the region of the U.S. Ambassador Matthew Bryza the OSCE
Minsk Group co-chair. Merzlyakov said for the time being it is unknown
what resolution can be taken and whether there will be discussed on the
organization of the next round of meetings between the conflict sides.

"We will resolve this issue as soon as we meet. I don’t know the
estimation that the U.S. Ambassador is going to make. By that time
he will have last contacts, he will talks to the Presidents and will
more probably make estimation," the Russian diplomat underlined.

Armenian news agency ARKA has recently reported that Bryza will pay
