YEREVAN, MAY 26, ARMENPRESS. Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Edward Nalbandian says the news on the document signing during the upcoming Aliyev-Sargsyan meeting in June is completely false. No document is going to be signed.

“Talks about any kind of document signing are not only premature, but also senseless. There is no such document to be signed”, the minister said.

“The agreement reached by the sides in the presence of the Foreign Minister of Russia, US Secretary of State and the French Secretary of State, is presented in the announcement of the 3 Co-chairing countries. It could have been 5 sided, by including Armenia and Azerbaijan, but Azerbaijan refused to join the announcement, so it became a 3 sided announcement”, Nalbandian said.

The Minister said appropriate conditions must be present for resumption of talks.

“If monitoring mechanisms are installed and the powers of the OSCE’s office of the Personal Representative of the Chairperson In Office are expanded, meaning the April type of developments are excluded, then there will be opportunities to resume negotiations”, he said.

President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan and President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev had a meeting in Vienna on May 16, initiated by the foreign ministers of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairing countries. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, US Secretary of State John Kerry, French Secretary of State for European Affairs Harlem Désir, Foreign Minister of Armenia Edward Nalbandian and Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Elmar Mammadyarov, Ambassadors Igor Popov of Russia, James Warlick of the USA and Pierre Andrieu of France were present at the meeting. The representatives of the Co-chairing countries insisted on the necessity of unconditional adherence to the 1994-1995 ceasefire agreement. An agreement was reached to take measures for creating violation monitoring/investigative mechanisms, expanding the scope of powers of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office for the possible resumption of negotiations.
