ARMENIAN MINISTER SAYS KARABAKH RESOLUTION SHOULD BE SPEEDED UP

[Presenter] Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan met the
co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group in Paris [12 September]. Oskanyan
told Armenian journalists that the framework of problems had been
clarified and the sides would discuss it in the near future.

[Oskanyan] We discussed additional problems constantly raised by
Azerbaijan in order for this process [negotiations] not to go off its
normal rails. This year, the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen want to
make additional progress [in the negotiating process] before the
[Armenian] parliamentary election. We have no time to deviate from
this process.

I thing that it is time to put on the negotiating table a document
that we regard as balanced. Azerbaijan’s position regarding this
document is also positive and we think that it is time to avoid
making pointless statements and the sides should concentrate on
speeding up this process.
