YEREVAN, November 21 (Itar-Tass) — The OSCE Minsk Group cochairmen are
preparing another meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents.

The presidents may meet on November 28, on the sideline of the CIS
summit in Minsk.

OSCE Minsk Group Russian Cochairman Yuri Merzlyakov and his French
counterpart Bernard Fassier met with Armenian President Robert
Kocharian and Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian in Yerevan on Tuesday
to discuss the meeting agenda. U.S. Cochairman Matthew Bryza could
not visit Yerevan because of a busy schedule.

The cochairmen and Kocharian discussed "the current phase of the
Karabakh settlement and issues related to a possible meeting of the
Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents at the CIS summit in Minsk,"
the presidential press service said.

The meeting with the Armenian foreign minister focused on the
settlement principles, which were discussed in Brussels on October 14,
a source at the Armenian Foreign Ministry told Itar-Tass.
