During the Warsaw meeting of the Armenian and Azeri Presidents certain agreements had been reached about the settlement of the Karabakh conflict which were to be given an official form by way of documents during the Paris meeting of the Foreign Ministers. However, this did not take place, as the two Ministers could not find a common language. NA Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan announced about it during today’s press conference. He also mentioned that the meeting was held in a constructive atmosphere.

Let us remind you that on June 17 in Paris by mediation of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs Minister Vardan Oskanyan had a meeting with the Azeri Foreign Minister Elmar Mamedyarov. During the negotiations held within the framework of the Prague process the Ministers concentrated on the progress reached during the Warsaw meeting of the Presidents. However, they failed to come to an agreement and settled to continue negotiations.

All the efforts of the journalists to learn the details of the process were doomed to failure. Vardan Oskanyan announced that “all the elements of the package are included in the discussion agenda. The most important issue for Armenia is the political status of Karabakh. Until we make this clear, I consider the further discussion of other issues in vain”.

Then the Minister called the journalists “not to try to learn details as he will tell nothing more”. Asked the question if the position of the Armenian side in Paris was constructive or destructive Mr. Oskanyan only gave an enigmatic smile and said nothing.
