Azeri, Armenian foreign ministers to meet in Paris on Jan. 24

The Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign ministers will meet in Paris on January 24, APA said, citing an unnamed diplomat.

Elmar Mammadyarov of Azerbaijan will leave for the French capital on January 23 to meet Edvard Nalbandyan of Armenia, the Baku-based news service said. 

The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group will also attend the discussions.

It will be a second meeting between the two foreign ministers after their presidents met in Vienna in November.

Armenians captured nearly 20 percent of Azerbaijan’s internationally-recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding districts, in a war after the Soviet Union’s breakup in 1991.

Large-scale hostilities ended with a ceasefire in 1994 but the sides have yet to sign a peace agreement.
