Baku, 15 May: The negotiating process on the resolution of the
Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict is taking place "in a very serious form,"
said Bernard Fassier, French co-chairman of the OSCE (Organization
for Security and Cooperation in Europe) Minsk Group.

"I cannot disclose the details of the current talks, but this process
continues in a very serious form," Fassier told journalists upon his
arrival in Baku from Yerevan, where he earlier held talks with Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan and Foreign Minister Edvard Nalbandyan.

In Baku, he is planning to meet with Azeri President Ilham Aliyev,
Fassier said.

Fassier’s visit to Azerbaijan will end on Saturday [17 May], he
said. "From here I will go to either Ankara or Paris. I might go to
Ankara for holding consultations," the French co-chairman of the OSCE
Minsk Group said.
