Armenian and Azeri FMs to Meet in Near Future

The Armenian party is not going to provide assessment of the past talks and the meeting in Bucharest, Armenian FM Vartan Oskanian stated at a news conference in Yerevan. In his words, he may soon meet with his Azeri counterpart E. Mammadyarov. As of the outcomes of the two Presidents’ meeting in Bucharest, Oskanian reminded Kocharian’s words before that meeting that he has «modest expectations from the talks.»

«This was the case. As of further talks, Armenian and Azeri FMs will meet soon. I should note that it seems after any talks that dialogue opportunities are exhausted. This is not so. I should again underscore there is no military solution to the Nagorno Karabakh issue,» the Armenian FM said.

At that he said that the talks have their own logic. «It lies in every party thinking each time that it is worth meeting and some agreement can be reached in a way. It does not turn out each time as the parties want. However, this does not mean talks should be stopped,» Oskanian underscored.
