Envoys from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in
Europe (OSCE) on Tuesday brokered a new round of talks between
foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia on the conflict over
Nagorno-Karabakh.
Yuri Merzlyakov, a Russian diplomat who co-chairs the so-called Minsk
group of the OSCE dealing with the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, said
the two nations' foreign ministers were to meet Friday in Moscow. He
said a time and venue for a meeting of presidents of Armenia and
Azerbaijan remain to be negotiated.
The foreign ministers' meeting would restart bilateral talks which
have been interrupted recently due to the lack of progress.
OSCE envoys held talks in Armenia Tuesday a day after visiting
Azerbaijan.
Nagorno-Karabakh is a region in Azerbaijan that has been under the
control of Armenian and ethnic-Armenian Karabakh forces since a 1994
cease-fire ended a separatist war. The region's final status has
not been worked out, and years of talks under the auspices of OSCE
mediators have brought little visible result.
