Armenia and Azerbaijan foreign ministers' talks in Moscow follow nearly two-weeks of clashes over occupied-Karabakh
The foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia have accepted an invitation to meet in Moscow as recent fighting over the occupied-Karabakh region enters its thirteenth day.
Earlier talks were held in Geneva but expectations were low and no statements were likely from the negotiations which were being conducted behind closed doors – and without Armenian participation. "The information about the damage to the church in Shusha has nothing to do with the military actions of the Azerbaijani army," the defence ministry said in a statement.
Armenians said 30 of their servicemen were killed in new clashes, taking its military death toll to 350 since September 27. It said 19 civilians were killed and many wounded. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's main demand is for Armenia to set a timetable for withdrawal from Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding Azerbaijani territories and wants Turkey involved in peacemaking.
