MOSCOW. April 14 (Interfax) - Yerevan is ready to accept Paris's proposal of holding talks on a Nagorno-Karabakh settlement between Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders, Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev, in France and believes that the meeting can be arranged shortly, Armenian Ambassador to Russia Vardan Toghanyan said.
"This idea has been aired by the French side. We are always in favor of any kind of a direct meeting and any kind of negotiations. The co-chairs are working on the matter, and I think we will respond with pleasure whereas there are some specific proposals on the place and the format," Toghanyan said in an interview with Interfax.
"We know by now that, after the co-chairs [of the OSCE Minsk Group] visited the region, they started working on a meeting. It is unclear whether this meeting will be held at the heads of state level or at the ministerial level, but, in principle, I believe that the meeting at the top level will happen soon," Toghanyan said.
