Yuri Merzlyakov believes that Armenia and Azerbaijan can agree on
basic principles of resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict in
the near future.
"If the sides demonstrate political will, we will be able to reach
agreement on the basic principles," Amb. Mezrlaykov said, adding that
the main goal of the current regional visit is to promote adoption
of Madrid provisions and continuation of talks.
For his part, U.S. Co-chair Matt Bryza informed that the mediators
will negotiate a regular presidential meeting that is likely during
the World Economic Forum due in Davos from January 1 to February 1.
"The Sargsyan-Aliyev meeting depends on our talks in Yerevan and
Baku. This month holds a brilliant chance for talks," Amb. Bryza said,

After meetings with the Azeri leadership, the mediators will head
for Yerevan.
They are expected to make a statement on outcomes of the regional
visit.
