French co-chair of OSCE Minsk group Bernard Fassier arrived in Baku.

Fassier told journalists that he arrived in the region not only as French co-chair, but also as the representative of other co-chairs.

There is nothing unusual in the co-chairs' visiting the region separately. It should not be regarded as divergence of opinion among the co-chairs. The co-chairs reached an agreement on my visiting the region two weeks ago in Paris, he said.
Noting that Azerbaijani and Armenian Foreign Ministers will meet in Geneva on March 14 the co-chair said he will meet and consult with the other co-chairs on March 13.

Bernard Fassier said that he will meet with Azerbaijani President. We will discuss perspectives of the process of negotiations and future measures, he said.

Stating that they will investigate thoroughly details of the issues discussed in the meeting of presidents held in Minsk, Mr. Fassier did not agree with estimation of these meetings as the continuation of Prague process.

Prague meeting was held two years ago. The presidents as well as Foreign Ministers have met for several times from that time, the negotiation became intensive, changes occurred in the process. That is why it is not right to call these negotiations the continuation of Prague process, French co-chair said.

Bernard Fassier said co-chairs' role is to mediate to the negotiations. He also noted that presidents should adopt decision on solution to the conflict. Commenting on the meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents, French co-chair stressed this meeting will be held after parliamentary elections to be held in Armenia APA reports.
