For his part, Russian Co-chair Yuri Merzlyakov said that the positions of Azerbaijan and Armenia do not coincide on some chapters. “That is why we did not offer the Foreign Ministers to meet,” he noted. When touching upon participation of the Azeri community of Nagorno Karabakh in the talks, Merzlyakov said, “It’s Azerbaijan’s internal affair and if official Baku expresses such an intention, the Azeri community can join the talks,” IA Regnum reports.
