The French, Russian, and U.S. co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group, accompanied by senior diplomats from the three countries, met in Yerevan on May 25 with Armenian President Robert Kocharian and Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian to discuss the ongoing search for a solution to the Karabakh conflict, RFE/RL\'s Armenian Service reported. In a subsequent statement, the co-chairs said the talks focused on unspecified \"important aspects\" of a peace settlement. As in a statement issued the previous day in Baku, they stressed the need for \"the two sides to reach agreement on the basic principles of a settlement,\" and they urged the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan to prepare the populations of their respective countries for peace, not a new war. A spokesman for Kocharian told RFE/RL that the Armenian president will meet with his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev in Bucharest on June 5 on the sidelines of a summit of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization.
