Interfax - Russia & CIS Military Newswire Tuesday 11:54 AM MSK No immediate plans for Armenian, Azerbaijani FMs' Karabakh meeting - Yerevan YEREVAN. May 22 No agreement has been reached on a meeting between Armenian Foreign Minister Zograb Mnatsakanyan and his Azerbaijani counterpart Elmar Mammadyarov to discuss ways to settle the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesman Tigran Balayan said. "The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group have said that they plan to visit Armenia in June. Concrete dates are being negotiated. But there is currently no agreement on a meeting between the foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan," Balayan said at a press briefing on Tuesday. Yerevan's stance on the Karabakh issue remains unchanged, he said. "The problem must be resolved by exclusively peaceful methods on the basis of the OSCE Minsk Group's suggestions and in accordance with the agreements reached after Azerbaijan's April aggression," he said. Armenia is not refusing to take part in Karabakh settlement negotiations, Balayan said. "But Nagorno-Karabakh's participation in these talks is a mandatory condition for reaching a lasting peace," he said. Armenia and the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh Republic established a ceasefire with Azerbaijan in May 1994. The negotiations are mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group, which was set up in 1992 to search for a peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict. The group consists of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Finland, and Turkey. It is co-chaired by Russia, France, and the United States. Tm mc aa
