Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanian says his upcoming Prague
meeting with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov may not
take place, according to Interfax news agency.
“There is no need for the meeting of foreign ministers, as the two
countries’ presidents are scheduled to meet in May,” he said.
The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs are presently engaged in organizing
the next round of the Prague meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian
foreign ministers, Yuri Merzlyakov, the Russian co-chair of the MG,
said. The meeting will probably take place shortly, with the venue
yet to be determined, he added.
The two ministers’ Prague meeting, which was originally scheduled
for March 2, was postponed due to Oskanian’s poor health condition.*
