«I evaluate the Paris talks between Foreign Ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia Elmar Mamedyarov and Vartan Oskanian June 17 as positive. These allowed to see new, additional opportunities for working out bases for settlement in the near future. The impetus conveyed by the Warsaw meeting of the Presidents May 15 was very important. We hope to manage to strengthen and develop these positive trends during our trips to Baku and Yerevan,» Russian Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group Yuri Merzlyakov said, reported APA Azeri agency. The Russian diplomat positively evaluates the proposal of the Azeri party to resume the operation of Aghdam-Stepanakert-Shushi-Lachin-Armenia-Nakhichevan motor road. «The opening of communication is an important component of the settlement. However, in my opinion it is nevertheless secondary as compared to key issues. One cannot say when the road will open yet: before or after the conclusion of the grand peace. Possibly some parts may be opened earlier that the route on the whole. At their latest talks the Ministers did not discuss the matter in detail. However, I can say the matter does concern the opening of communications,» the Ambassador said. It should be reminded that experts will join further talks and, in Merzlyakov's words, it will happen in autumn or later. «The Co-Chairs will have to coordinate the work of experts at the initial stage. Experts represent a wide composition delegation of the parties and the issue of involvement of experts representing the mediators was not discussed yet,» he said. Y. Merzlyakov also said the date of the recurrent meeting of Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia will be known during the Co-Chairs' visit to the region. He did not rule out the opportunity for the meeting of the Presidents to be held in Kazan.
