YEREVAN, MAY 16, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. Armenian President
Robert Kocharian will not take part in the plenary sitting of NATO
Parliamentary Assembly (PA) to be held on May 26-30 in Paris. Viktor
Soghomonian, Spokesperson for RA President, reported this to radio
Liberty. “The President has received an invitation from President of
NATO PA Pierre Lellouche but, unfortunately, he cannot take part in
the sitting as his agenda of these days is busy. OSCE Minsk Group
Co-chairs are to arrive in Yerevan on these days, the festivities
dedicated to the Holiday of Republic are to be held on May 28,” Viktor
Soghomonian said giving a negative answer to the question, whether this
is connected with the current home political situation. The analysts
had made suppositions that a Kocharian-Aliyev meeting could take place
in Paris. According to different sources, Azerbaijani President Ilham
Aliyev has accepted the invitation to visit Paris. The three Co-chairs
of Minsk Group will arrive in the region in the period from May 25
to May 30, but, according to the Spokesperson, the concrete day of
arriving to Yerevan is not known yet.
