The meeting has been called off at the initiative of the Armenian side, given what Poghosyan described as the "incomplete format" as the Russian co-chair isn’t participating in the regional visit. The co-chairs – Stephan Visconti (France) and Andrew Schofer (the U.S.) – visited Baku on Saturday and met Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, who gave the mediators a cold shoulder and said he hasn't invited them to Baku.
