The OSCE Minsk Group may hold negotiations this autumn regarding a settlement to the Karabakh conflict, and a meeting of Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan is likely, Secretary General of the OSCE Laberto Zannier said addressing a meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council in Moscow, according to RIA Novosti.

According to Zannier, he and Secretary General of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) Nikolai Bordyuzha discussed the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

Zannier said that they are concerned over the escalation of violence in the region and on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border and that work should be done with the political leaders.

“We met with the foreign ministers on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session in New York, and there were meetings of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs. Another meeting is likely in the autumn,” L. Zannier said adding that they also hope for a possible meeting of the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan .
