FLORIDA MEETING OF PRESIDENTS OF ARMENIA AND AZERBAIJAN IS EXPECTED TO LAST 4 DAYS, U.S. DIPLOMAT SAID

YEREVAN, March 21. /Mediamax/. It is anticipated about four days of Armenian-Azeri talks will take place, from April 3rd to April 6th. That could be extended if needed, official representative of the U.S. Department of State Richard Boucher said at a briefing in Washington.
The U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell will be going, actually, on the first day April 3rd for a day trip to the talks on Nagorno-Karabakh at Key West, the American diplomat said.
“Our hope is to work with the parties to make progress. We think that there was indeed progress made at their meetings with President Chirac, and we would hope to make further progress in Key West”, Boucher said. –0–
