The OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs have no immediate plans to visit the South Caucasus region, but will be in constant communication with the parties to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, the U.S. Co-chair said Monday, July 12.

Russian Co-chair Igor Popov said earlier that the mediators will visit the region to tackle the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. He also said that the Co-chairs met on Monday in Vienna to discuss issues concerning the peace process.

As Ambassador James Warlick said, the Co-chairs at Monday’s meeting in Vienna briefed the Minsk Group members on the most recent meetings between the Presidents, including U.S. State Secretary John Kerry's talks with each president on the sidelines of the NATO Summit and the one hosted by Russian President Vladimir Putin in St. Petersburg.

“The co-chairing countries will continue their efforts with the sides to advance substantive talks regarding a comprehensive settlement and to implement the commitments to expand the OSCE monitoring mission and finalize a proposal on an investigative mechanism,” he added, according to Azeri media reports.
