Baku, 20 April: A meeting between [Azerbaijani President] Ilham Aliyev
and the co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group which is negotiating a
resolution to the Karabakh conflict, Robert Bradtke [USA] and Yuriy
Merzlyakov [Russia] was held at the Presidential Administration on
Tuesday morning [20 April].

The negotiations are confidential, the media have not been invited to
the meeting. In general, the visit of the co-chairmen is under a veil
of mystery. The embassies of the co-chair countries have not commented
on the visit. To all appearance, no statements for media will be made.

Most probably, the co-chairmen have arrived with a special mission. As
soon as they landed in Baku, they immediately headed to have a meeting
with the president without having a meeting with the foreign minister.
