OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs' date of visit to Azerbaijan announced

OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs will end their next visit to the region on July 5 in Baku, according to APA. Mediating in the regulation process of Nagorno Karabakh conflict, OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs Robert Bradtke (US), Igor Popov (Russia), Bernar Fassier (France) and Personal representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Anjey Kaspshik will start their visit to the region from Yerevan.

According to the given task in the joint statement of the presidents of the co-chairing countries connected with the regulation of Nagorno Karabakh conflict in Toronto, the mediators will conduct negotiations due to the preparation for a new meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian Foreign Ministers. Remind that, the meeting of ministers will be organized within the framework of the informal meeting of OSCE Foreign Ministers to be held in Almaty on July 16-17.

As the visit of Co-chairs aligns with time of Hillary Clinton’s visit to the region, meeting between the mediators and the Secretary of State is not excluded as well. Note that, within the framework of trilateral meeting between Russian, Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov held splinter meeting with the mediators on June 17 in St. Petersburg.
