French co-chair of OSCE Minsk group Bernard Fassier arrived in Baku.
Fassier told journalists that he arrived in the region not only as
French co-chair, but also as the representative of other co-chairs.
There is nothing unusual in the co-chairs’ visiting the region
separately. It should not be regarded as divergence of opinion among
the co-chairs. The co-chairs reached an agreement on my visiting the
region two weeks ago in Paris, he said.
Noting that Azerbaijani and Armenian Foreign Ministers will meet in
Geneva on March 14 the co-chair said he will meet and consult with
the other co-chairs on March 13.
Bernard Fassier said that he will meet with Azerbaijani President. We
will discuss perspectives of the process of negotiations and future
measures, he said.
Stating that they will investigate thoroughly details of the issues
discussed in the meeting of presidents held in Minsk, Mr. Fassier did
not agree with estimation of these meetings as the continuation of
Prague process.
Prague meeting was held two years ago. The presidents as well as
Foreign Ministers have met for several times from that time, the
negotiation became intensive, changes occurred in the process. That
is why it is not right to call these negotiations the continuation of
Prague process, French co-chair said.
Bernard Fassier said co-chairs’ role is to mediate to the
negotiations. He also noted that presidents should adopt decision on
solution to the conflict. Commenting on the meeting of Azerbaijani
and Armenian presidents, French co-chair stressed this meeting will
be held after parliamentary elections to be held in Armenia APA
