/PanARMENIAN.Net/ There are no grounds for a meeting of the Armenian
and Azeri Presidents Kocharian and Aliyev, Armenian FM Vartan Oskanian
told RFE/RL. In his words, the question of the meeting of the two
Presidents will be decided only after the meeting with E. Mammadyarov
in Brussels November 14 and the regional visit of the co-chairs of
the OSCE MG.
Oskanian called the Prague meeting "normal and constructive." "I
cannot say that there are specific points of contact, but there is
an opportunity to make positions of the parties closer. There are
no final results yet, but this meeting was the continuation of the
Moscow one, where new ideas over the issues, over which the parties
had differences, were voiced," the Armenian FM said. He also reported
that those principles were discussed during his latest visit to Nagorno
Karabakh. "The Karabakh party is familiar with the documents on the
bargaining table. Of course it does not mean they agree with all its
items. We agree wit the principles, but the document is something
more than mere principles. We have differences over details in the
document and with the OSCE MG co-chairs," Oskanian added.
