YEREVAN, September 28. /ARKA/. Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan
Oskanyan does not rule out a possibility of continuing the negotiations
with Azerbaijan in the near future.

In the interview to Liberty radio station in New-York Oskanyan pointed
out that individual meetings with the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs on
the Karabakh issue will always be held.

"I do not rule out a possibility of the co-chairs’ visit to the
region," he said and added that after they reached a relevant
decision based on the results of the 61st UNO General Assembly,
Armenian intends to contact the mediators and plan further actions.

Oskanyan reported that resumption of direct negotiations between
Armenia and Azerbaijan both at the ministers’ and presidents’ level is
possible and desirable for all. He said that it is all in an uncertain
situation, and everything will be clarified with time.
