co-chairs on settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, as a REGNUM

saying, while talking to the press.

If the meeting of foreign ministers is a success, according to the
minister, a possibility of a Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents
meeting is not ruled out. Vardan Oskanyan found it difficult to answer
when and where such meeting can take place.

The minister expressed his confidence that recent internal political
developments in Armenia would affect settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh

goal. We have been in this process for many years, and it is difficult
to say, when it ends,” the Armenian foreign minister announced.
