Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said he discussed the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict’s settlement and the situation in the South Caucasus region in general at a joint briefing with his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu in Baku Dec. 3.

Mammadyarov said that Cavusoglu discussed the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict’s settlement also at the meeting with his Russian colleague Sergey Lavrov in Turkey’s city of Alanya in early December 2016.
