Oskanian said Armenian and Azeri leaders likely to meet next month

Yerevan, 7 May 2006 (Armenpress – website) – Armenian foreign minister Vartan Oskanian said today Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents are likely to have another meeting early next month, but added there were no concrete arrangements about the venue and the date of the possible meeting of Robert Kocharian of Armenia and Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan.

Speaking to journalists on the sidelines of “Armenia and the Council of Europe: Five Years of Membership” conference, kicked off today in Yerevan, Oskanian said the anticipated meeting may suffer a setback as the one earlier this year in the French castle of Rambouillet.

{…} “The problem now is to avoid a setback and we expect appropriate moves from Azerbaijan,” he said, adding otherwise it would be very difficult to move forward. Oskanian downplayed media allegations that Aliyev’s recent visit to Washington has given an additional weight to Azerbaijan’s positions. “We know that Aliyev was made understand in Washington by very top US government officials that seeking a military solution to the Karabakh conflict is not an option. We appreciate it ,” he said
