/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian did
not hold any talks with his Azeri counterpart Elmar Mammadyarov
in Istanbul, RA MFA acting spokesman Vladimir Karapetian told a
PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. "All BSEC FMs were sitting at the same
table during the dinner but Vartan Oskanian was sitting at a distance
from the Azeri Foreign Minister and there was no talk between them,"
Karapetian underscored.
Meanwhile ANS-Press reported that Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan
Oskanian held informal talks with Elmar Mammadyarov during the
dinner. The Azeri new agency quoted Minister Oskanian allegedly saying,
"Yes, I discussed some issues with Mr Mammadyarov.
However, due to the absence of the OSCE MG Co-chairs the talks were
informal. That is why I can’t tell what we were speaking about."
