Armenia Calls Latest Karabakh Talks ‘Useful=?UTF-8?B?4oCZ?=

Armenia views the latest round of Karabakh talks with Azerbaijan as "useful and important", according to its foreign minister Edward Nalbandian.

Armenian President Serzh Sarkisian and his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev reaffirmed their commitment to continue the search for peace in Karabakh through negotiations after a meeting in Russia's southern city of Astrakhan on October 27 hosted by Russian leader Dmitry Medvedev.

Sarkisian and Aliyev also agreed on an exchange of prisoners of war as well as the bodies of servicemen and civilians killed in recent clashes as the first step in a series of confidence-building measures.

In their joint declaration published following the trilateral meeting the leaders of the two rival South Caucasus nations also stated their readiness to stick to this humanitarian approach also in the future.
