not reached agreement yet. The talks were started in Minsk and will
probably be continued in Brussels. Oskanyan hopes that the sides will
come to agreement. The sides will also discuss with the OSCE MG
co-chairs GUAM’s initiative on "frozen conflicts."

CE Secretary General Terry Davis and the Ago group. He is going to
raise the question of Armenian cross-stones in Nakhichevan and to ask
the CE to send a monitoring group there. From Strasbourg Oskanyan
will go back to Brussels to meet with NATO Secretary General Jaap de
Hoop Scheffer. From Brussels Oskanyan will go to Paris to take part
in the celebrations of the 100th anniversary of Armenian General
