Merzlyakov: Oskanian-Mamedyarov next meeting may be held either in May or later
The OSCE MG CO-Chairs for the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement are preparing the next meeting between Armenian and Azeri foreign ministers, Russian Co-Chair Yuri Merzlyakov stated. He reminded last time the mediators succeeded in organizing a meeting between Armenian and Azerbaijani Foreign Ministers Vartan Oskanian and Elmar Mamedyarov on April 18-19. "Currently we are looking for a possibility to organize one more meeting between the FMs. But is very difficult to bring them together," Merzlyakov said. He did not exclude that the next consultations between the two FMs may be held either on May or later.

The Russian diplomat noted the OSCE MG Co-Chairs are planning to visit Madrid on May 10 to meet with OSCE Chairman-in-Office Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos. Following it the mediators will visit the conflict region at the end of May, Trend reported.
