Sabah newspaper Consultations among the USA, Turkey, Russia,
Azerbaijan and Armenia have been held in Moscow, Turkey’s Sabah
newspaper reports.

US Under Secretary of State William Burns, Armenian Defence Minister
Seyran Ohanyan and Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov
were visiting Moscow at the same time as Turkish Prime Minister Recep
Tayyip Erdogan this week.

"Moscow really hosted consultations between the USA, Turkey, Russia,
Azerbaijan and Armenia. It is not chance that Foreign Minister Ahmet
Davutoglu hurried to leave London for Moscow," the newspaper says.

It also states that the head of the Turkish parliament’s committee on
foreign relations, Murat Mercan, said that if Armenia did not withdraw
from five of the seven occupied districts of Azerbaijan, the
Armenian-Turkish protocols would not be ratified.

Sources in the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry say they have no
information about Deputy Minister Araz Azimov’s visit to Moscow.
