OSCE Minsk Group Russian Co-Chair Yuri Merzlyakov stated that private meetings with FMs will give an impetus to soonest settlement of the conflict. He noted that the MG does not urge Armenia and Azerbaijan to an agreement based on concessions. In his words, the international mediators have called the parties to observe norms relating to the cease-fire regime. «We did not make any statements on readiness to compromises. We have urged them to solve the conflict via peace talks. If we look through the document, you will see we urged Azerbaijan and Armenia not to break their commitments over strengthening of the cease-fire regime, not to make statements that negatively tell on the settlement process,» Yu. Merzlyakov noted. The Russian diplomat also stated the format of the negotiations between the foreign ministers with participation of the co-chairs has changed. He noted that the goal of the mediators' private meetings with ministers is the soonest and final clarification of the details of the conflict. «We want to discuss the details of the problem with both parties, as when holding the joint meetings with both Ministers the Co-Chairs cannot attain discussion of small details. E.g. to clear out the available problems holding private talks with the ministers is more favorable,» he added. The Russian Co-Chair said that already now - a month before the recurrent meeting of the Azeri and Armenian Presidents, the Co-Chairs are ready to bring their point of view over some issues to the notice of the state leaders.
