Karabakh mediators discuss peace process with Azerbaijani president

Diplomats from France, Russia and the United States, and the representative of the Italian chairmanship of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) on Wednesday (7 February) met in Baku with the president of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, to take forward discussions on the ongoing efforts to peacefully resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. France, Russia and the United States chair the OSCE Minsk process which has been mandated to mediate between the sides in the conflict by the international community.

It is expected that the diplomats will later this week hold similar talks with the Armenian leadership in Yerevan, and will also visit Nagorno-Karabakh.
