The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group mediating in the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict will not visit the region by the meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian Foreign Ministers Elmar Mammadyarov and Vartan Oskanian scheduled for April this year.

Russian co-chair Yuri Merzlyakov told the APA that the mediators will possibly visit the region by summer.

Yuri Merzlyakov had a meeting with OSCE Parliamentary Assembly president Goran Lennmarker, who was visiting Moscow along with the delegation from Swedish parliament.

Swedish parliament told the APA that Lennmarker does his best to discuss the Nagorno Karabakh.

Merzlyakov informed Goran Lennmarker about the meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian Foreign Ministers and previous two meetings of the co-chairs. Lennmarker expressed hope that the conflict will soon be settled.

Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov told journalists that the co-chairs phoned him and offered him to meet with his Armenian counterpart in one of European cities in late April or early in May.

Elmar Mammadyarov said that date of the meeting depends on the ministers' schedule and will be specified soon.

The minister noted that both Azerbaijan and Armenia expressed their positions in Geneva. "As parliamentary elections will be held in Armenia in mid May, the co-chairs are trying to arrange the meeting by the elections," he said.
