Armenian, Azerbaijani Presidents unlikely to meet in near future
"Robert Kocharian and Ilham Aliyev are unlikely to meet in the near future," RA President's spokesman Victor Soghomonyan told a briefing in Yerevan. "There is only a month left before April 9 and the possibility of a meeting is too vague. Anyway, like it has always been, every opportunity will be taken for organization of a presidential meeting."

Mr Soghomonyan also informed that President Kocharian met with OSCE Minsk Group U.S. Co-chair Matthew Bryza to discuss violations of ceasefire at the dividing line of the NKR and Azeri armed forces. "We are hopeful that provocations will be stopped," the spokesman said.

Inauguration of President-elect Serzh Sargsyan is scheduled for April 9.
