Our meetings in Baku and Yerevan were substantial and constructive.
We did much and as a result we arranged on the meeting of President
of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan and President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev
on 7 May in Prague, French co-chair of the OSCE MG Bernard Fassier
told journalists in Yerevan today.
‘We have certain hope to suppose that the forthcoming meeting of
Sargsyan and Aliyev will be constructive and fruitful’, – Fassier
said and added that the Madrid principles remain unchanged and the
talks will be continued on their basis.
American co-chair of the OSCE MG Matthew Bryza said that progress is
obvious over the last period of time as well as new impulses and mood
in the Karabakh conflict settlement. Bryza added that as co-chairs
of the OSCE MG they do everything possible to develop this progress.
For his part, Russian co-chair of the OSCE MG Yuri Merzlyakov agreed
to his counterparts and added that at present there are all the
conditions and opportunities to accelerate the current process. ‘Look,
co-chairs often visit the region, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov
visited Armenia, presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan have recently
visited Russia. All this is evidence of the fact that at present we
notice opportunities to move forward’, – Merzlyakov concluded.
