YEREVAN, AUGUST 8, ARMENPRESS: Armenian foreign ministry told
Armenpress it did not receive any proposal form the OSCE Minsk
Group cochairman on organization of a fresh meeting of Armenian and
Azerbaijani foreign ministers.

In a recent interview with the Russian Interfax news agency Armenian
foreign minister Vartan Oskanian said Armenia was ready to continue
talks for the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict on the
basis of the existing principles.

"Contrary to Azerbaijan’s hesitance and its retreat from the agreements
achieved, we can ensure the possibility of serious progress if
political will is demonstrated," Oskanian said.

An official of the U.S. Embassy in Yerevan told Armenpress that the
Minsk Group cochairmen did not plan a visit to the region in August.
