YEREVAN, May 29. /Mediamax/. The decision to postpone the Geneva talks was taken by the French, Russian and US co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group at the request of Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan, French co-chair, Ambassador Philippe de Suremain told RFE/RL in a phone interview.
“We had thought of June as a possible time without setting a precise date, and we concluded during our visit to Baku and Yerevan that we should probably not push things too hard and should spend a little more time on reflection and work on details,” he said.
Suremain said the fact that the two presidents, who are thought to be closer to a deal than ever before, are now asking for more time testifies to the seriousness of their intentions. “I think that it is rather a good sign,” Suremain noted.
“We will not take the risk of setting dates. As soon as things get better the effort will be re-launched,” he said. –0–
