Azerbaijan, Armenian leaders meet in Paris

The presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan have met for a second time in less than three months over the Armenian-occupied region of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Armenia’s Serzh Sarkisian and his Azerbaijan's Ilham Aliyev held face-to-face talks in Paris on October 27.

They were later joined by the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group -- U.S. Ambassador James Warlick, Igor Popov of Russia, and France’s Pierre Andrieu.

Earlier on October 27, Sarkisian and Aliyev met separately with French President Francois Hollande.

Sarkisian said Yerevan remains committed to finding a negotiated peace to the Karabakh conflict, RFE/RL reported.

Violence has increased recently along the line of contact between Armenian forces and Azerbaijani troops, with more than 20 soldiers killed there since August.

Armenian-backed separatists seized Nagorno-Karabakh from Azerbaijan during a war in the early 1990s.
