BERNARD FASSIER: "IF THE MAIN PRINCIPLES OF THE SETTLEMENT PROCESS ARE FORMED IN GENEVA, MAMMADYAROV AND OSKANYAN SHOULD MEET AGAIN"

Today, Azerbaijan
March 13 2007

All conditions have been created for successful meeting of Azerbaijani
and Armenian Foreign Ministers in Geneva, OSCE Minsk Group French
co-chair Bernard Fassier told journalists in Yerevan.

Highly appreciating his visits to Baku and Yerevan the co-chair said
they have a lot of expectations from the Geneva talks.

I can not predict how constructive the Geneva negotiations will be,
as the meeting has not taken place yet. But all conditions have been
created for successful meeting and everything depends on the will
of the sides. The meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents was
very constructive, but then the dialogue became a little worse. The
statements of the sides made the co-chairs negotiate in Paris and
organize Geneva meeting of the Foreign Ministers, the co-chair said.

Bernard Fassier stressed that the sides have not been given fantastic
proposals on the settlement of the conflict.

If Geneva negotiations are a success and the main principles of the
process of settlement are formed, the foreign ministers should meet
for the second and third time, the co-chair said, APA reports.
