ANKARA AND MOSCOW DISCUSS THE ISSUE OF KARABAKH CONFLICT

Translated by L.H.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced in Baku that
discussions are taking place between Ankara and Moscow about Karabakh
conflict settlement.

"Many countries of the world, including the countries of the region
are interested in speedy settlement of Karabakh conflict. We discuss
the subject with our Turkish partners", S. Lavrov told journalists
after the negotiations with his Azerbaijani counterpart Elmar
Mammadyarov.

According to Lavrov, the issue is discussed exclusively in the
framework of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs’ mediation effort, and "no
one holds parallel discussions contradicting the format".
