Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents’ Munich talks were not "smooth
and easy", said RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan in the course
of his visit to Italy.

According to him, the sides managed to retain "positive tendency
established in the course of last eight meetings of Presidents within
recent year and a half."

Asked why the statements of Baku and Yerevan after each meeting differ,
Nalbandyan replied, "The statements of Armenia after presidential
meetings are concordant with those of OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs,
that is they are true to fact."

Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev
met in Munich, Nov. 22. OSCE MG Co-Chairs noted progress in the
negotiation process, however underlining certain difficulties. The
agreement to continue negotiations was achieved and preparation for
the next meeting started.
