Each presidential meeting is a sign of progress. The presidents managed
to create a positive atmosphere during the St. Petersburg meeting,
according to Bernard Fassier, OSCE Minsk Group French Co-Chair.

He said the Co-chairs will pay the next visit to region to facilitate
the process. "We will specify the date of the visit within several
days. We are going to visit both Baku and Yerevan, but everything
depends on the schedules of the foreign ministers and the presidents".

Fassier said they need to visit Yerevan to get familiarized with
the position of the new leadership of Armenia. "The main task of
the Co-chairs now is to complete the work on the basic principles
considering proposals of both sides". Fassier said there were some
new points in the negotiations, but didn’t make them public.

"Our aim is clear: we will organize news meetings of the foreign
ministers and presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia," Amb. Fassier
resumed, the Azeri Press Agency reports.
