Armenian President meets with diplomats from Minsk Group co-Chair countries

Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan on Friday (9 February) met with Ambassadors Igor Popov of the Russian Federation, Stéphane Visconti of France, and Andrew Schofer of the United States of America, who co-chair the OSCE Minsk Process on Karabakh, as well as thePersonal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk.

The press service of the Armenian president said that the diplomats presented to President Sargsyan the results of their meetings in Baku earlier this week.

According to the source, President Sargsyan called the diplomat's attention to the recent statements made in Baku, "noting that they evidence once again that Azerbaijan is still too far from showing readiness to promote the negotiation process on the basis of the proposals made by the Minsk Group Co-Chairs, as well as demonstrate Baku's response to the Co-Chairs' continued calls to prepare societies for peace."

It is understood that the diplomats will also visit Nagorno-Karabakh.

Kremlin taking urgent measures to protect May 9 parade from Ukrainian attacks

The Kremlin was forced Wednesday to say it was taking "all necessary measures" to ensure the safety of foreign leaders set to attend its flagship May 9 parade after a wave of Ukrainian drone attacks closed airports across the country, disrupting hundreds of flights. Moscow and Kyiv traded a barrage of drone attacks ahead of the parade, which has become a key event during Vladimir Putin's 25 years in power, as US talks pushing for an end to the conflict appeared to have stalled. Moscow will hold the Victory Day event on Red Square to mark 80 years of the defeat of Nazi Germany, an anniversary that comes more than three years into its Ukraine offensive.
