The co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group have arrived in Yerevan
from Baku. They met Armenian President Robert Kocharyan and Armenian
Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan today.

The co-chairmen will visit Stepanakert [Xankandi] tomorrow to meet the
Artsakh [Karabakh] leader. The US co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group,
Matthew Bryza, said in Baku that the main goal of the current visit
to the region is to resume direct contacts between the conflicting
parties to the Karabakh conflict.

But the Russian co-chairman [Yuriy Merzlyakov] said that if the
negotiations continued, the document that was submitted to the
presidents in Rambouillet and re-edited in Bucharest would be offered
to the conflicting sides for discussion. But now it will be offered
at the next meeting with some changes.
