The United States hope presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan will meet in the near future, US Ambassador to Azerbaijan Richard Morningstar said.                                           

He recalled that Secretary of State John Kerry met with Armenian and Azerbaijani FMs.

“He met last week individually with ministers of foreign affairs of Azerbaijan as well as Armenia, and he is very interested in the process of finding the solution to the conflict,” Trend agency quotes Ambassador. “This is a matter that is totally up to parties involved.”

Secretary Kerry hopes for the progress in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, he added.

The OSCE Minsk Group failed to bring the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan, Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev, to the negotiating table, ITAR TASS reported on Friday quoting a diplomatic source said. A diplomatic source from one of the Minsk Group said the regular round of talks planned for June 12 in Salzburg will not take place.
