08 February 2007 [15:05] - TODAY.AZ
"I think Goran Lenmarker did not mean concluding of peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia, but reaching an agreement on the core principles of the settlement," said Yuri Merzlyakov, Russian co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group.

He said it while commenting on OSCE Parliamentary Assembly's President Goran Lennmarker's hopes for reaching an agreement on the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict by the PA's session in July.

Noting that the agreement will base on the core principles of the settlement, the diplomat said it is not known whether the core principles will be reflected on paper.

"It is premature to speak about the form, the parties to the conflict should reach an agreement on the content. Everything will depend on their decisions," the co-chair said.

As to the date and place of the next meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign ministers in the framework of the Prague process, Merzlyakov said the co-chairs are working to arrange this meeting.

"We would like the ministers to meet by early March," he said. APA
