ARMENIA-PRESIDENT-AZERBAIJAN-MEETING

The OSCE Minsk Group co-chair-states try to organize a meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliev on sidelines of the 66th Session of the UN General Assembly to open in New York on September 13, Haykakan-Zhamanak Daily writes.

"The world diplomatic circles think such meeting the last chance to resolve the Karabakh conflict in the current period of time as developments in Armenia in September are not known," the paper writes. In addition, elections are expected in the OSCE MG member-states within the nearest future. Correspondent of Haykakan Zhamanak Daily applied to Armenian President's Spokesperson Armen Arzumanyan for confirmation or rejection of the reports on possible participation of Serzh Sargsyan in the opening of the 66th Session of the UN.

"The Department for Public Relations and Mass Media of the Armenian President's Administration reports the visits and meetings of the president timely and properly," Arzumanyan replied. However, by ArmInfo's sources, the OSCE MG co-chairs will be in Europe in the period mentioned by the paper. This fact casts doubts on possibility of such meeting during the opening of the UN General Assembly session since such meetings are held with direct participation of the mediators.
