At the moment the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs are preparing a
pentalateral meeting in the frames of the non-official meeting of
the OSCE Foreign Ministers due in Almaty July 16-17, Armenian Foreign
Minister Edward Nalbandyan told reporters at a joint conference with
his Polish counterpart Radoslaw Sikorski in Yerevan today.

Note that earlier media reported about a pentalateral meeting between
French, Russian Foreign Ministers, the US Secretary of State, as well
as the Armenian and Azerbaijani Foreign Ministers in Almaty.

“The Co-Chairs are trying to organize the meeting, though, it’s not
fixed yet,” the FM said.

“If such a meeting takes place, first we should find whether Azerbaijan
is ready to continue Nagorno-Karabakh settlement talks basing on
the latest version of Madrid principles presented at St. Petersburg
meeting, as agreed in Petersburg,” Minister Nalbandyan highlighted.
