The OSCE Minsk Group's US co-chair James Warlick said that he and his colleagues are studying the possibilities of holding another meeting of the presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia, Ilham Aliyev and Serzh Sargsyan.

The OSCE MG Co-Chair countries are committed to continuing dialogue between the two presidents and are exploring opportunities to bring them together again soon, he said.

“Although we have no specific plans to travel to the region at this time, we are in regular contact with the sides to prepare for the next presidential meeting,” Trend cited Warlick as saying.

He noted that the Vienna and St. Petersburg meetings were successful in reducing the violence along the line of contact between Azerbaijani and Armenian troops, resuming substantive talks, and advancing proposals to reduce the risk of violence.
