Meetings not talks held on Karabakh conflict, Baku says
In order to hold talks on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement, representatives of the sides and experts should gather to carry out daily work following exact instructions, Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister said.

"Meetings but not talks are held. It's incorrect to describe intermittent regional visits of OSCE MG Co-chairs and ministerial meetings as talks," Araz Azimov said, Azeri Press Agency reports.

The meeting between Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian and his Azerbaijani counterpart Elmar Mammadyarov is due in Strasbourg May 7, during the EU Foreign Ministers summit.
