The presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia, Ilham Aliyev and Serzh Sargsyan, met in St. Petersburg on Friday on the sidelines of the CIS informal summit, the Azerbaijani state news agency AzerTaj said.

The news agency also said that the OSCE Minsk Group cochairmen had taken part in the meeting.

The two foreign ministers, Elmar Mamedyarov and Edvard Nalbandian, said that the meeting was positive and constructive. The media was not permitted to watch the dialog.

The foreign ministers told a press conference that the national leaders “had studied each other’s stands and ordered them to continue cooperation with the OSCE Minsk Group in the Karabakh settlement process.”

The chiefs of state supported further mediation of the OSCE Minsk Group in the Karabakh settlement process, Mamedyarov said. He noted that the sides were coordinating the date of another regional visit of the group cochairmen. The visit may take place in late June, he remarked.

“Once we study each other’s stands, we can continue to bring them closer together,” Mamedyarov said.

In the opinion of U.S. Cochairman of the OSCE Minsk Group Matthew Bryza, it is necessary to update the group proposals in line with the wishes of the conflicting sides.

Russian Cochairman Yuri Merzlyakov voiced the readiness for cooperation and confirmed their goal of practical results.itartass
