The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs are not visiting Azerbaijan during
their latest trip to the region, according to Russian mediator Yury
Merzlyakov.

‘We have coordinated the date of our visit to Baku with [Azerbaijani
Foreign Minister] Elmar Mammadyarov and no one else. He knows that the
visit will be in April but there is no exact date,’ Merzlyakov said.

Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Elkhan Polukhov confirmed today
that the mediators would not visit Baku as part of their latest trip.

The Minsk Group co-chairs Bernard Fassier (France), Yury Merzlyakov
(Russia) and Robert Bradtke (US) visited Yerevan and separatist
Nagorno-Karabakh on 26-29 March.

The mediators were expected to visit Azerbaijan after their trip
to Armenia.
