The possibility of next meeting between Azerbaijani and Armenian
presidents Ilham Aliyev and Serzh Sargsyan testifies to certain
progress in talks, Minks Group U.S. co-chair Matthew Bryza told
Trend News.

"There would be little sense in another meeting unless there had been
some progress in St. Petersburg," Bryza said.

Bryza said the next meeting could be in Russia.

"The next meeting can take place in Russia. Timing of the next meeting
remains unclear," he said.

Bryza noted, however, that the next meeting would not overlap with U.S.

President Barack Obama's visit to Moscow.

"I do not think the Presidents will meet during President Obama's
Moscow visit," Bryza said.
