The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs on the resolution of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict are going to hold a next round of
consultations in Moscow, Russian Ambassador Yuriy Merzlyakov, the
co-chair of the OSCE Minsk, told Trend.

The meeting will focus on results of April visits of the OSCE Minsk
Group co-chairs – French Ambassador Bernard Fassie and US Ambassador
Steven Mann. Moreover, it is planned to discuss the agenda of the
co-chairs’ forthcoming visit to the region in May.

Merzlyakov noted that the exact date and program of the visit
were still to be defined, but the tour will more probably start
from Baku and then continue in Yerevan and Khankandi. They will
also discuss opportunities for OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs with the
Foreign Ministers, which is expected to take place in one of the
foreign countries.

Merzlyakov refuted reports on his private tour of the conflict zone
after the relevant visits of Fassie and Mann.
