Baku, 22 November: Two of the three co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk
Group, Yuriy Merzlyakov and Bernard Fassier, today had consultations
with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov. They discussed
the possibility of organizing a meeting between the Armenian and
Azerbaijani presidents on the sidelines of the CIS summit in Minsk.
After the meeting, the co-chairs refused to comment on the outcome
of the talks for reporters. Asked whether a meeting between Aliyev
and Kocharyan will take place, Yuriy Merzlyakov said that it would be
clear after a meeting between President Ilham Aliyev and the co-chairs.
After the meeting at the Foreign Ministry, Bernard Fassier and Yuriy
Merzlyakov immediately headed for a meeting with the Azerbaijani
president promising to issue a communique on the outcome of the visit.
The US co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, Matthew Bryza, did not arrive
in the region because of his “workload”.
