/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian
of Armenia and Elmar Mammadyarov of Azerbaijan held
their first-ever meeting in Strasbourg today.
According to OSCE Minsk Group French Co-chair Bernard
Fassier, the intermediaries held a consultative
meeting on Monday. Today’s agenda includes a similar
meeting and separate talks with Mammadyarov and
Nalbandian to be followed by joint discussion with
participation of both Ministers and the mediators.
Mr Fassier said the Co-chairs will give a dinner in
honor of the FMs to continue talks in an informal
atmosphere. He said he hopes for constructive
negotiations. `It is the first meeting between the
ministers and of course, it is an acquaintance. So, it
is too early to speak about results.’
The Co-chair noted that the sides could discuss
possible directions to continue the talks. `The
Foreign Ministers may need to meet once more before a
presidential meeting. If necessary, we will organize
this meeting. All depends on the results of the
Tuesday talks,’ he said, the Azeri Press Agency
reports.
