It was reported yesterday that OSCE MG co-chairs have had a meeting
with Azerbaijan’s Aliyev in Baku and former Russian co-chair Yuri
Merzliakov introduced the new Russian co-chair to the MG Igor Popov.

French co-chair Bernard Fassier wasn’t present at that meeting.

It was also reported that the co-chairs were due leaving Baku for
Moscow to meet their French colleague there.

Day.az reported the meeting with Azerbaijan’s Aliyev was held in a
positive and constructive atmosphere. American co-chair R. Bradtke
stated that that they could feel Aliyev longed to reach the settlement
of NK conflict. "President Obama and Mrs. Secretary of State signify
the peaceful settlement of NK conflict," American co-chair said.

He said the updated version of Madrid document had some points which
need to be agreed upon, and that the co-chairs work to settle them.

"By the changing of the co-chairs Russia’s disposition over the NK
conflict settlement won’t be changed, since Russia’s disposition is
defined by the President of the country and not by the co-chair,"
Russian diplomat said.

I. Popov declared he is due paying visit to Armenia in the nearest
future.
