Next meeting between Armenian and Azeri Presidents expected early in 2010
The next meeting between Armenian and Azeri Presidents, Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev, within Karabakh conflict settlement frameworks, is expected early in 2010, Trend reported citing OSCE MG Russian Co-Chair Yuri Merzlyakov.
''There's little left till New Year, so I believe we won't manage to prepare presidential meeting before the end of December,'' Merzlyakov noted, adding that this week, OSCE MG US, Russian and French Co-Chairs plan to visit Azerbaijan and Armenia.
''The visit will cover discussions on reviewed Madrid Principles,'' Merzlyakov said.
The last Sargsyan-Aliyev meeting, positively assessed by the parties, took place on November 22 in Munich.
