YEREVAN. – Vienna not simply hosted a meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents, but concrete results have been achieved, German Ambassador to Armenia said.

The meeting of presidents can be described as a success, Matthias Kiesler said during a business forum in Yerevan.

 “This happened especially due to the efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs and with the great political support of the three foreign ministers,” he noted.

Among the results of the meeting the diplomat especially highlighted the fact that an accord was reached on the need to respect the ceasefire agreement of 1994. The Ambassador also called important the agreement on the need to implement mechanisms for monitoring on the contact line as well as expanding the capacity of the office of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman, Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk.

“The German chairmanship in the OSCE is also working to solve these issues, and does everything so that they could be implemented,” he added.

Commenting on the remark that Azerbaijan had already expressed disagreement with the expansion of the powers of Ambassador Kasprzyk, the Ambassador said: "There is a statement by the co-chairs, which stipulates that both parties have reached an agreement to expand the office. And, I assume from the fact that both parties must feel committed to the implementation of this agreement. "
