/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The format of the Frankfurt meeting provided for the OSCE
Minsk Group Co-Chairs’ meeting only with Azeri FM Elmar Mamedyarov, Armenian
Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hamlet Gasparian stated when commenting the
Zerkalo Baku newspaper report that Elmar Mamedyarov had noted he `did not
know why Vartan Oskanian did not go to Frankfurt’ and stated `the agreement
on the meeting with the OSCE MG Ambassadors was reached earlier.’ `The
Co-Chairs had made it public beforehand,’ he stated. In his words, according
to an arrangement the mediators will meet with Armenian FM Vartan Oskanian
in a European city. `We are just surprised with this very plain situation
being muddled up by Azerbaijan, its Foreign Ministry and Elmar Mamedyarov
himself. Of course Elmar Mamedyarov knew where he was going and whom he was
to meet with,’ the Armenian Foreign Ministry Press Secretary stated.
