U.S. Minsk Group co-Chairman Steven Mann told RFE/RL in Rambouillet on 12 February that the two presidents discussed \"the full range of issues,\" and he characterized the \"personal atmospherics\" between them as \"good.\" An official Minsk Group communique quoted on 12 February by ITAR-TASS described the talks as \"intensive,\" but added that the positions of the two sides on \"some acute aspects\" remain as far apart as they were several months ago. Regnum.ru on 12 February quoted Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov as saying that the two presidents reached agreement on seven out of nine points, not including the return to their former homes of displaced persons and the question of preserving Azerbaijan\'s territorial integrity. Mammadyarov did not mention the referendum that is rumored to be a key aspect of a future settlement. On 10 February, a senior Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry official said that any referendum in Azerbaijan must be nationwide, rather than confined to a specific locality. (RFE/RL)
