April 22, OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs will discuss Karabakh peace
process in Moscow, newly appointed Russian envoy Igor Popov told the
journalists in Baku. According to him, thereafter it will be possible
to speak about results of the recent talks held between the sides.

Russian and U.S. Co-Chairs — Igor Popov and Robert Bradtke held
negotiations with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Foreign
Minister Elmar Mammadyarov in Baku. Former Co-Chair Yuri Merzlyakov
introduced Igor Popov to Azerbaijani side.

In his turn, Igor Popov stated that he will try to maintain continuity
and justify the confidence. "With the change of the co-chair Russia’s
position on resolving the conflict will not change, because the
president determines Russia’s position but not the co-chair," Trend
News quotes Igor Popov. Newly appointed Co-Chair also informed that
he intends to visit Armenia in the near future.
