Karabakh conflict

OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs arrived in Yerevan yesterday.

As we informed before, the aim of the visit is to organize the meeting
of Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents in the nearest future, which
may coincide with Davos Economic Forum to be held on January 28.

Yesterday, in a joint press-conference with RA Foreign Minister Edward
Nalbandian, Benita Ferrero-Waldner, the EU Commissioner responsible
for External Relations and European Neighbourhood Policy, assured
that Karabakh conflict negotiations "will continue in the light of
Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents’ meetings in Moscow and Helsinki"

Anyway, Armenia is ready to continue the negotiations based on the
principles proposed by the OSCE MG Co-chairs in Madrid in 2007.

Today, OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs Matthew Bryza (US), Bernard Fassier
(France) and Yuri Merzlyakov (Russia) after the meetings in Baku will
continue the series of meetings in Yerevan.
