The OSCE mediators from Russia, France and the United States brokering
settlement to the Armenia-Azerbaijan Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh conflict
will meet in Moscow on Tuesday, television reports said.

This follows the latest unsuccessful round of talks between the two
countries’ leaders in Rambouillet, France in February.

The course of peace talks and the date for the intermediaries’ next
visit to the region will be considered during the discussions, to
be attended by the OSCE chairman’s special envoy Andzhei Kaspshik,
said the Russian co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group, Yuri Merzlyakov.

During the talks in Azerbaijan and Armenia, the mediators are
expected to discuss new proposals on the conflict settlement with
the two presidents.
