ARMENIAN FOREIGN MINISTER TO MEET MINSK GROUP COCHAIRMEN AND HIS AZERI COUTERPART

YEREVAN, MAY 30, ARMENPRESS: Armenian foreign minister Vartan Oskanian confirmed today that before another round of talks with his Azerbaijani counterpart Elmar Mamedyarov he will meet the OSCE Minsk group cochairmen. Oskanian said both meetings are scheduled to take place in June, but added that the date of the meeting with Mamedyarov was not specified yet.

Oskanian was talking to journalists before an annual gathering of Armenian ambassadors and heads of consular services at Marriott Hotel in Yerevan to specify the country’s foreign policy priorities, which he said will be the economy (energy, trade and investments), European integration, Armenian-Turkish relations and regulation of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Oskanian said the Warsaw meting of Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents (on the sidelines of a Council of Europe summit) marked “a small but important” step towards the peaceful resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict..

“The presidents’ meeting has opened a new avenue to push the talks ahead,” he said, adding that his Azeri counterpart should refrain from pubic statements, implicating Mamedyarov’s last week announcement that Armenia was ready to give back seven occupied Azeri regions. “We are guided by the results of concrete talks but not by statements,’ he said. Oskanian also shrugged off any possibility of deployment of peacekeeping troops between Armenian and Azeri troops in Karabakh, saying it was premature to speak about it until the final settlement of the conflict.
