[Presenter] A meeting that the Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign
ministers held in Brussels with the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs
in attendance was constructive, Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry
spokesman Tahir Tagizada has told journalists. He did not rule out
the possibility of the Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents meeting
during a CIS summit in Minsk.
[Tagizada, speaking to microphone] The negotiations were very
constructive, even though they were difficult. As a result of the
meeting [changes tack] We have repeatedly said that the main issue
for us is that a step forward is made in the negotiation process.
This time the sides have managed to make this step.
I can say that in late November, approximately on 21-23 November,
the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs will pay a visit to the region. And it
is very likely that in the near future [changes tack] preparations
will be made any way and it is very likely that in the near future
the two presidents’ will hold a meeting within the framework of the
CIS summit to be held in Minsk.
