He said that uncoordinated issues with regard to the solution to Nagorno Karabakh would be discussed during the Prague meeting.
â€œWe hope the meeting will produce results,â€ he said.
Merzlyakov said after the presidentsâ€™ meeting in Prague the co-chairs would visit the region again.

French co-chair Bernard Fassier compared the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict with the construction of a house.
â€œThis is a long process. Our visits and talks mean bricking up, but we are not yet ready to build the roof. We hope concrete and serious improvement will be made by this year-end,â€ he said.
Fassier said the meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents in St. Petersburg in June depended on the results of the Prague negotiations. He underlined that the normalization of Turkey-Armenia relations would also influence the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

American co-chair Matthew Bryza said the meetings with Azerbaijani officials were constructive and he was leaving Baku in a good mood.
