The OSCE Minsk group has not finished its work, claim the
Co-Chairs. Today they announced that the Armenian and Azeri Foreign
Ministers will meet in Moscow on October 6.

The Co-Chairs are a little indignant at yesterday’s meetings in Baku
and the interpretation of the Azeri mass media. US Co-Chair Mettew
Bryza says that he couldn’t sleep the whole night after seeing his
announcement on GUAM in the press. According to the Azeri press
data, Mr. Bryza said that GUAM countries can render assistance to
OSCE Minsk group in Karabakh conflict settlement. Today Mr. Bryza
read his opinion on the GUAM in front of the Armenian journalists;
"GUAM member countries are not OSCE members."

Bernard Fassier, French Co-Chair says that he didn’t announce in
Baku that Karabakh cannot participate in the negotiation process at
present. He didn’t answer the same question in Yerevan either. He
didn’t exclude the possibility that peaceful troops may be located
in vacated territories by 2006.

Tomorrow the Co-Chairs will leave for Karabakh. Mr. Bryza assured that
the Co-Chairs are of the same opinion on all questions, and there
is no discord among them. "I can assure that the Karabakh conflict
settlement has not a military solution," said Mettew Bryza. Bernard
Fassier said that unless Armenians and Azeris are ready to live side by
side as neighbours, the Karabakh conflict won’t be settled. As for the
time when the conflict will find its final solution, Mr. Fassier said,
"Let’s live and see."
