The official regional tour of the American co-chairman of OSCE Minsk group Steven Mann has drawn to an end. After negotiating with President Robert Kocharyan and Foreign Affairs Minister Vardan Oskanyan, Mann went to Baku where he met Ilham Aliev and Elmar Mamedyarov. Official summaries of press services do not allow to judge about the productivity of the American diplomat's visit. However, it is quite obvious that in the negotiations process there is a certain stir up, which can bring to resumption of direct contacts between parties in the nearest future.
