/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The final terms of the meeting of Armenian and
Azeri FMs are not specified yet, Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan
Oskanian said. "Co-chairs of the OSCE MG for settlement of the conflict
seriously discuss the issue of a possible meeting of FMs.

However, our stance is that those meetings should not be an end in
themselves," Oskanian told journalists in Yerevan Thursday. "We are
ready to meet at any time, however the atmosphere should be favorable
for discussing specific matters," the FM added.

Azerbaijan makes every effort to distract attention from the Minsk
process, which is evidenced by inclusion of the issue on protracted
conflicts in the UN GA agenda, Oskanian believes. "Maybe Azerbaijan
wants to give up its agreement to the OSCE MG document, including
the referendum in NK and the self-determination principle by trying
to divert attention from the Minsk process to the UN," the Minister
supposes. "Thus, our meeting is open to question before specification
of the processes in the UN," Oskanian said. However, he did not rule
out the opportunity of holding a meeting, reports Novosti-Armenia.
