The OSCE Minsk Group cochairmen - Russia, France and the United
States - plan to organize Karabakh settlement negotiations between
the Azerbaijani and Armenian president within the framework of the
Warsaw summit of the Council of Europe, Russian Foreign Minister
Sergei Lavrov said on Sunday.
"The leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia will attend the Council of
Europe summit, and their meeting is probable," he said.
Earlier in the day Lavrov, who is visiting Vienna to attend
celebrations of the state treaty's 50th anniversary, laid a wreath to
the Soviet military memorial in downtown Vienna. He commemorated
27,000 Soviet servicemen, who died for the liberation of Austria in
spring 1945, with a minute of silence. The memorial is a
20-meter-high pillar with a soldier's figure atop. It was unveiled in
August 1945.
