At the same time he noted that the matter only concerns the postponement of one meeting what cannot be viewed as suspension of the negotiation process on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. In Talvitie's opinion, the meetings are essential and their absence hinders the mediators to work out the base for the negotiations.
