Azerbaijani President Aliyev and Armenian President Sargsian met in
Munich on Sunday.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu talked to his Azerbaijani
counterpart Elmar Mammadyarov on the phone and received information
regarding the Munich meeting of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev
and Armenian President Serzh Sargsian, Anadolu news agency said.
Diplomatic sources said that Mammadyarov phoned Davutoglu and gave
information regarding the meeting of Aliyev and Sargsian in Munich,
Germany.
Mammadyarov told Davutoglu that the process will continue in the
upcoming term and that the co-chairs of the Minsk Group may meet in
Athens as part of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in
Europe (OSCE) meeting.
During the phone conversation, Minister Davutoglu expressed his
happiness over the developments (between Azerbaijan and Armenia)
and renewed his invitation to Mammadyarov to visit Ankara.
"Progress"
Azerbaijani President Aliyev and Armenian President Sargsian met in
Munich on Sunday.
Mediators said "important progress" was made at talks on Sunday on the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, but that difficulties were also identified.
The mediators provided few details after more than four hours of
talks. Both presidents left without talking to reporters.
"Some important progress has been reached," French mediator Bernard
Fassier told reporters. "At the same time we have identified some
difficulties." He said he and his co-mediators from the United States
and Russia would start work on preparing the next meeting, without
specifying when it might take place.
Turkey and Armenia had no diplomatic ties or economic relations since
Turkey closed its border with Armenia after this country invaded the
Upper-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan in 1992, until recently when the
two countries agreed about a month ago on a protocol to establish
relations after months-long Swiss mediated talks.
