Baku hosts peace talks

The US Minsk Group co-chair Carry Cavanaugh arrived in Baku Saturday to meet with President Aliyev and negotiate peace settlement to the Armenian-Azerbaijan conflict.

Recalling the productive Key West negotiations, President Aliyev said he had held an important meeting with President Bush. The Azeri President underscored the significance of Mr. Cavanaugh’s current visit, saying it was necessary to continue going along the track beaten in Key West.

Reiterating his remarks on the progress achieved in Key West, Mr. Cavanaugh voiced his intention to continue the negotiations.

Mr. Cavanaugh left Baku for Vienna Saturday, where OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs will discuss Garabagh settlement prospects on May 7, this time without the participation of Azerbaijan and Armenia.*
