MERZLYAKOV DID NOT MENTION SPECIFIC TIME LIMITS, SAYS ARMENIAN FOREIGN MINISRY

It was after Armenian, Russian and Azerbaijani presidents’ January 25
meeting in the Russian city of Sochi that OSCE Minsk Group co-chair
Yuri Merzlyakov declared that Yerevan and Baku may, in about two weeks’
time, present to the co-chairs their suggestions on those aspects of
the revised Madrid Principles which they had not yet agreed upon.

RA Foreign Ministry acting press spokesperson, Tigran Balayan,
while speaking to Tert.am, said it was meaningless to speak about
time limits at this time.

"When Armenia presents those suggestions, the public will certainly
be informed about it," said Balayan.

Until now, Merzlyakov had said the sides should present those
suggestions not "in about two weeks’ time," but concretely in a
"two-week period."
