Speaking in a televised press conference, the top Turkish diplomat noted that the meeting's location was in accordance with Armenia's request.
Flights between Istanbul and Yerevan will also start soon, Cavusoglu said.
The special envoys were appointed to kick off the normalization talks in a bid to establish a diplomatic tie between two neighboring countries. Cavusoglu didn’t specify a date for the Moscow meeting.
