Bernard Fassier: "The foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia may need to meet once more before the meeting between the presidents"

The co-chairs held consultative meeting on Monday in Strasbourg.

Today Bernard Fassier, Yuriy Merzlyakov and Matthew Bryza will hold another meeting and then they will meet with Elmar Mammadyarov and Edward Nalbandian separately.

Just only after that meeting, the foreign ministers and co-chairs will come together.

Bernard Fassier said the co-chairs would give a dinner in honor of the foreign ministers in the evening and would continue talks in an unofficial atmosphere.

French Co-Chair said he was hopeful for the constructive negotiations.

"It is the first meeting between the ministers and of course, it has a character of acquaintance and it is too early to speak about the results".

The co-chair noted that the sides could discuss in which direction to continue the talks.

"We hope necessary atmosphere will be created for continuation of the talks. The foreign ministers may need to meet once more before the meeting between the presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia. If it will be necessary we are ready to organize this meeting. All things will depend, of course, on the results of Tuesday meeting".
