Amrenian foreign minister: Parties are still too far from signing any
document on Karabakh
A meeting of Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents Robert Kocharyan and
Ilham Aliyev will most probably be held on June 4 in Bucharest,
Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan has announced.
According to him, on the negotiation table there is a document on
some principles of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement, which
will be worked out by the presidents. `If the parties come to an
agreement on those principles, the paper will become a document,’
Oskanyan is quoted as saying. Answering the question by a REGNUM
correspondent whether there will be an opportunity to sign any
document in Bucharest, the Armenian minister is reported as saying
`the situation is too far from it.’ `The parties should agree on some
principles, after that we can speak of a document,’ Vardan Oskanyan
stressed.
As REGNUM earlier reported, the meeting of the presidents is expected
to be held within framework of The Black for Partnership and Dialog
Summit in Bucharest on June 4-6.
