Oskanian: Meetings of Armenian and Azeri FMs Should Not Be End in Themselves

PanARMENIAN.Net - The final terms of the meeting of Armenian and Azeri FMs are not specified yet, Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian said. "Co-chairs of the OSCE MG for settlement of the conflict seriously discuss the issue of a possible meeting of FMs. However, our stance is that those meetings should not be an end in themselves," Oskanian told journalists in Yerevan Thursday. "We are ready to meet at any time, however the atmosphere should be favorable for discussing specific matters," the FM added.



Azerbaijan makes every effort to distract attention from the Minsk process, which is evidenced by inclusion of the issue on protracted conflicts in the UN GA agenda, Oskanian believes. "Maybe Azerbaijan wants to give up its agreement to the OSCE MG document, including the referendum in NK and the self-determination principle by trying to divert attention from the Minsk process to the UN," the Minister supposes. "Thus, our meeting is open to question before specification of the processes in the UN," Oskanian said. However, he did not rule out the opportunity of holding a meeting, reports Novosti-Armenia.
