Diplomats representing the three co-Chair countries of the OSCE Minsk Group have hust conducted another round of bilateral discussions with the leaders of the sides involved in the Karabakh conflict. Over the last few days the diplomats were in Baku, Stepanakert and Yerevan where they met the Presidents and Foreign Ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan and the leadership of the self declared Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.

The mediators are trying to narrow the differences between the sides in anticipation of a further round of direct negotiations, but no progress has been reported so far.
