The Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement was on agenda of the meeting of Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in Washington.

“I talked with both President Aliyev and President Sargsyan - and they are meeting shortly. We are urging that process to move forward, and we will continue to be engaged in that,” Kerry said.

The Turkish official, in turn, expressed hope for rapid settlement of the conflict.

“On Nagorno-Karabakh, we have been consulting through several mechanisms, co-chairs of Minsk Group and other bilateral consultations. And we hope that this frozen conflict will be ending soon. And that will bring peace to Caucasia; that will bring peace to the region beyond Caucasia. Therefore, I am happy to see that Turkey and the United States look to this issue from the same perspective, and we hope that this meeting between President Sargsyan and President Aliyev will be successful,” Davutoglu said.

Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders, Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev are meeting November 19 in Vienna through the mediation of the OSCE Minsk Group for Karabakh conflict settlement.
