Yerevan /Mediamax/. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry held phone talks with Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents ahead of the upcoming meeting of the leaders of the two countries due in Vienna today.

John Kerry said this addressing a joint press conference with the Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu in Washington on November 18, Mediamax reports.

 

“I talked with both President Aliyev and President Sargsian in the last 48 hours – or I guess the last 72, anyway – and they are meeting shortly. We are urging that process to move forward, and we will continue to be engaged in that”, said the U.S. Secretary of State.

 

In his turn, the Turkish FM noted that on Nagorno-Karabakh, “Ankara has been consulting through several mechanisms, co-chairs of Minsk Group and other bilateral consultations”.

 

“And we hope that this frozen conflict will be ending soon. And that will bring peace to Caucasia; that will bring peace to the region beyond Caucasia. Therefore, today I am happy to see that John and me and Turkey and the United States look to this issue from the same perspective, and we hope that this meeting between President Sargsyan and President Aliyev will be successful”, said Ahmet Davutoglu.
