Karabakh Mediators Schedule Another Regional Tour

U.S., Russian and French mediators will again tour the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone later this month after holding fresh talks with the foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan at the weekend.

Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian said on Thursday that the three co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group will arrive in Armenia and Karabakh "in the last week of March." They will also visit Azerbaijan.

The mediating troika announced plans to travel to the region "in the coming weeks" after holding separate meetings with Nalbandian and Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov in Paris on Saturday and Sunday.

In a statement on those talks issued on Monday, the diplomats — Ian Kelly, Igor Popov and Jacques Faure — said they "repeated their concerns" regarding Armenian plans to launch commercial flights to Karabakh and Azerbaijan's threats to forcibly prevent them.
