Possibility of holding a meeting on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict in Hamburg has been discussed, but a final agreement has yet to be reached, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told a briefing on Wednesday, December 7.

France has proposed holding the summit in a 3+2 format, involving the three OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs, as well as the Armenian and Azerbaijani Foreign Ministers.

Armenia's Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan said in late November that there is no clarity concerning the meeting.

Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan and Azeri leader Ilham Aliyev met on June 20 in Saint Petersburg to address the conflict, with Russian President Vladimir Putin mediating the talks. The Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents confirmed their commitment to the implementation of agreements reached at a Vienna-hosted meeting on May 16. To that end, they agreed to increase the number of international observers in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict zone. Also, they expressed satisfaction that the ceasefire was now holding. Prior to that, a meeting between both leaders was organized on May 16 in Vienna, with top diplomats from the MG co-chairing countries hosting the summit.
