"The Co-Chairs intend to prepare for the upcoming meetings via e-mail", he added not ruling out that the parties can ask to hold a special joint meeting. When commenting on the possible terms of concluding a peaceful agreement Yuri Merzlyakov said, "It would not be serious to say that agreement can be achieved in a month.

According to him, adoption of non-adoption of a declaration after the Kazan meeting depends on the conflicting parties only.
