With FM Mammadyarov we exchanged views on a proposal to establish an OSCE investigative mechanism and discussed elements of a comprehensive settlement, US co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group James Warlick told.

He said the co-chairs met Foreign Minister Mammadyarov in Brussels May 31 to follow up on the outcomes of the May 16 summit and prepare for the next meeting of the Presidents. “We will see Foreign Minister Nalbandian in Paris June 2 to discuss the same issues. Although there is no date set for the next presidential meeting, we expect it to take place in June. It will be important for the sides to reinforce respect for the ceasefire, reach agreement on the implementation of the investigative mechanism, and agree to a negotiation that can lead to a comprehensive settlement. The Co-Chairs will continue their efforts with the sides to advance a peaceful and lasting settlement,” he noted.
