Mediators Believe in Possible Agreement

May 26, 2006 - 12:03 AMT  04:16 GMT
The regular visit of OSCE Minsk group co-chairmen has come to the end. This visit can hardly be called regular due to a number of specific differences from the previous visits of mediators in Yerevan and Baku. Firstly, this time the co-chairmen arrived in full staff which has not been the case of at least half a year. After the unsuccessful meeting of the two presidents in Ramboulliet, mediators arrived in Yerevan and Baku individually. Early in 2006 Bernard Fassier twice came to Armenia and Azerbaijan. Steven Mann has also visited Aliev and Kocharyan. As for the Russian mediator Yuri Merzlyakov, he looked to be keeping away. The joint visit of cochairmen confirms that co-chairman states are again in the same team.
