Russian and U.S. Co-Chairs — Igor Popov and Robert Bradtke held negotiations with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov in Baku. Former Co-Chair Yuri Merzlyakov introduced Igor Popov to Azerbaijani side.

In his turn, Igor Popov stated that he will try to maintain continuity and justify the confidence. “With the change of the co-chair Russia’s position on resolving the conflict will not change, because the president determines Russia’s position but not the co-chair,” Trend News quotes Igor Popov. Newly appointed Co-Chair also informed that he intends to visit Armenia in the near future.
