The presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan are meeting in Moscow in the
latest round of talks aimed at resolving the dispute over
Nagorno-Karabakh.
Armenia's Serge Sarkisian and Azerbaijan's Ilham Aliyev have met half
a dozen times over the past year. There are rising expectations of a
solution to one of the former Soviet Union's most troubling "frozen
conflicts."
Nagorno-Karabakh is part of Azerbaijan, but has been under the control
of Armenian soldiers and ethnic Armenian forces since a war ended in
1994.
Aliyev and Sarkisian are to meet with Russian President Dmitry
Medvedev on Saturday to report on their talks. Russia, along with the
United States and France, is leading international efforts to work out
a settlement.
