Aliyev travels to Moscow for next round of Karabakh talks with Sargsyan
BAKU July 17
Azeri President Ilham Aliyev left for Moscow on Friday to join his
Armenian counterpart Serzh Sargsyan for the next round of negotiations
on ways to resolve the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh.
On Saturday, the Azeri leader is expected to take part in a trilateral
meeting, which will also involve Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
It will be the sixth round of direct talks between Aliyev and
Sargsyan, and the third round attended by the Russian president.
The three presidents’ first such meeting in Russia’s Barvikha on
November 2, 2008 produced a joint document known as the Moscow
Declaration. The three leaders then met on the sidelines of the St.
Petersburg Economic Forum on June 4, 2009.
