Still there is no exact information regarding possibility of the
meeting of foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia within the
framework of the international conference "Caspian-2008" in Slovenia,
press-secretary of Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Matin Mirza told
Trend on August 26.
It should be mentioned that on August 27-28, an international
conference "Caspian-2008" will be held in the Slovenian capital
Ljubljana. The President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev will also attend
the conference. Besides, the conference is expected to bring together
the Prime Minister of Slovenia Yanez Yansh, active chairman of OSCE
Karl de Guht, Georgian Deputy Prime Minister Georgi Baramidze,
Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan, Foreign Minister of
Slovakia and former special envoy of EU on the countries of Central
Asia Yan Kubisha, first Deputy Foreign Minister of Russian Federation
Andrey Denisov, personal representatives of active OSCE Andzey
Kasprzyk and other many officials.
Mirza remembered that the co-chairs of OSCE Minsk Group offered the
Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan and Armenia Elmar Mammadyarov and
Vardan Oskanyan to meet in the near future. However, the exact date
and place of the meeting still remains undefined. Azerbaijani
minister has already expressed his readiness to meet with Oskanyan.
Armenian foreign minister also announced that the next meeting of the
two ministers on the peaceful settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
will take place in the near future.
During his interview with Trend, the ambassador of Azerbaijan to
Austria Fuad Ismaylov didn’t exclude that if during the Conference
the sides voice their desire, a meeting may be held between
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and active chairman of OSCE Karl
de Guht where it is possible to hold discussions on the fires in
Azerbaijan’s occupied territories.
