OSCE Minsk Group, Azerbaijan FM, meet in Brussels

The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group met with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov in Brussels on Tuesday, ahead of a scheduled meeting between the Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents later this month.

“We look forward to a meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents in June,” wrote James Warlick, the American co-chair of the Minsk Group, on Twitter. 

After a meeting on May 16 in Vienna, Presidents Aliyev and Sargsyan are going to meet again, possibly in France. The Minsk Group co-chairs are meeting Armenian foreign minister Edward Nalbandian on June 2. 

Mammadyarov also met NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg as part of his visit to Brussels.
