Moscow: No information about Azerbaijani, Armenian FMs’ meeting
By Rashid Shirinov
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that there is no information about the Moscow meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian Foreign Ministers yet.
“We don’t have information that such a meeting is planned to be held soon,” Zakharova said at a briefing on March 30.
The OSCE Minsk Group’s co-chairmen visited Azerbaijan on March 10-11 and met with the country’s leadership. The MG visited Yerevan on March 27.
Armenia and Azerbaijan fought a lengthy war that ended with the signing of a fragile ceasefire in 1994. More than 20,000 Azerbaijanis were killed and over 1 million were displaced as a result of the large-scale hostilities. Since the war, Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan's territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding regions.
The OSCE Minsk Group, established in 1994 and co-chaired by Moscow, Washington and Paris, could not arrange for a meaningful pathway forward to end the conflict and start moving toward the end of the occupation.
