Baku. Viktoria Dementieva ` APA. `A week after the Prague meeting, I
met with the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan. It shows that there
are enough elements on the table to continue the process of settlement
of Nagorno Karabakh conflict,’ OSCE Minsk Group co-chair Bernard
Fassier told journalists at Heydar Aliyev international airport, APA
reports.
French diplomat said it is not right to regard the process of
negotiations as a photo taken during the presidents’ meeting, for
there is no motion in the photo. He mentioned that Azerbaijani and
Armenian Presidents met four times within a year and said
St. Petersburg meeting will be the fifth.
`If the presidents hold regular meetings, it means that they have
something to say to each other,’ he said.
Bernard Fassier underlined that anyway the Prague meeting was
successful.
`Though we can not say a big step was taken forward in the Prague
meeting, we can say that there were improvements. If the Prague
meeting had failed, as some observers say, I would not have come here
so soon. The Prague meeting was neither a success nor a failure,’ he
said.
