The next meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign ministers
Elmar Mammadyarov and Vardan Oskanian will be held in Prague on March
2, Oskanian said in a meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergey
Lavrov on Thursday.

The Armenian diplomat noted that the Prague talks have raised
optimism of the conflicting sides for solving the Nagorno Karabakh
problem.

Lavrov, in turn, expressed a hope that the Prague meetings of the
Armenian and Azerbaijani ministers would help both sides reach common
agreement. The Russian official called the OSCE Minsk Group “the most
optimal and continuous format” in the conflict settlement.
