OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs Yuri Merzlyakov (Russia), Bernard Fassier (France), Robert Bradtke (U.S.) and the personal representative of the Chairman-in-Office Ambassador Andzrej Kasprzyk are on a visit to Baku.

The Co-Chairs held meeting with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov and discussed the issues on Karabakh conflict settlement, Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry press secretary Elhan Polukhov reports.

The mediators will also be hosted by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. Further, November 6 the Co-Chairs will arrive in Yerevan.

Meanwhile, Azerbaijani APA news agency spread information that U.S. Co-chair Robert Bradtke has been in Azerbaijan for three days. It is hard to say whether it is a regular misinformation of Azerbaijani mass media or it is a preplanned. However, if the information is true, the matter is what was the purpose of the visit and why none of local media covered it.

Last time mediators visited the region this October, on the threshold of Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents’ meeting in Chisinau, where the agreement to go ahead was reached. Thus mediators visit South Caucasus again.
