/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The meeting with Azeri Foreign Minister Elmar
Mamedyarov passed in normal and calm atmosphere, Armenian Foreign
Minister Vartan Oskanian stated to a joint press conference with his
Latvian counterpart in Yerevan. He said, it is necessary to wait for
the both presidents to express their opinion on Co-Chairs’ offers and
then to move forward. "We have not agreed on a new meeting yet. Most
likely the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs will visit the region till May 12
in order to prepare a meeting between Armenian and Azeri Presidents,"
the RA FM noted.
V. Oskanian also said, there are some issues that are not agreed yet,
but the foreign ministers had serious negotiations over those issues
in Belgrade, during which the OSCE MG mediators presented their offers.
"There exist moot points, and this means that they were discussed
during the talks. Sometimes there are cases, when the Azeri Foreign
Minister and I are not authorized to make decisions. And this time
we will pass the Co-Chairs’ offers to the Presidents of Armenia and
Azerbaijan," the RA FM underscored.
In his part Latvian Foreign Minister Artis Pabriks underlined,
the Nagorno Karabakh conflict can be settled only via peaceful
talks. "Latvia shares hopes of the Armenian side on peaceful solution
to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict in the framework of OSCE MG and thinks
the conflict can be settled only by the consent of all parties. There
exist a lot of problems between countries, but they all must be solved
through peaceful talks, negotiations. All other ways do not lead to
wishful results," he noticed.
