Sargsyan-Aliyev meeting to take place in late June, James Warlick says

 The US Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group James Warlick has confirmed the meeting on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in late June.

Although the OSCE Minsk Group does not have details to announce at present, it can confirm that there will be a meeting before the end of June, Warlick told Trend on June 10.
"We expect the sides to follow up on the outcomes of the May 16 meeting in Vienna," Trend quotes Ambassador Warlick as saying.

For his part, Azerbaijani Ambassador to Russia Polad Bulbuloghlu told APA on Friday that there were various proposals about where the meeting would take place. 
"The Russian Foreign Ministry's website published information Thursday that a trilateral meeting is to take place in Saint Petersburg, but for some reason this information was later deleted from the website. I'm not authorized to speak of where and when the meeting will be held. But I think it will take place in June. This meeting is very important for us because during it vectors of future steps towards the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will be determined," he said.  

At the same time, he said that if the underlying reason behind the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is not solved and "Armenian troops are not withdrawn from Azerbaijani territories, nothing can be guaranteed". According to him, the Azerbaijani people and Azerbaijani president will not give up even an inch of land. "Everyone- Armenia, the international community, the co-chairs-must understand it.  The Azerbaijani president and the Foreign Ministry have said it many times. But they don't hear us, nor do they want to. The April clashes showed that the status quo is unacceptable," APA quoted the ambassador as saying.  

To note, RIA Novosti reports, citing its own diplomatic sources that the trilateral meeting of the presidents of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan - Serzh Sargsyan, Vladimir Putin and Ilham Aliyev - will take place in St. Petersburg in late June,.   

Earlier the Russian Foreign Ministry reported that Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Grigory Karasin, France's Ambassador to Russia Jean-Maurice Ripert and OSCE Minsk Group French Co-Chair Pierre Andrieu discussed the preparations for the trilateral summit on the Nagorno-Karabakh problem. 
Nevertheless, Yerevan has refused to comment on this information. Armenian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Tigran Balayan says that all the high-level meetings and visits are announced in due time, while Armenian President's Spokesman Vladimir Hakobyan has refused to touch on this topic.  Later, the given information was removed from the Russian Foreign Ministry's website.
