On September 12, Armenian Foreign minister Vardan Oskanyan is meeting
with OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmen in Paris. The Azeri Foreign Minister
is then meeting with the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmen on September
13 in London, Trend reports quoting Elmar Mamedyarov, Azeri Foreign
Minister.

Mamedyarov said it is not necessary to meet with Armenian
counterpart. "First, we should meet with the Co-Chairmen and discuss
ideas", he outlined.

Speaking on new proposals on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement,
Mamedyarov said the work with the Co-Chairmen would go on as usual.

"We will try to work out the basic principles and I am very concerned
with the Co-Chairmen’s opinions, their proposals and how to compromise
on this issue", he added.
