The Armenian and Azerbaijani
presidents are set to meet in Vienna to discuss a fragile cease-fire in
Azerbaijan's breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh region.
The meeting between Serzh Sarkisian and Ilham Aliyev will be their first face-to-face encounter since Nagorno-Karabakh in early April saw its worst violence in two decades.
EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini said on May 16 that she would meet with the presidents. Her announcement, made on social media, did not say if she would meet with them together or separately.
AFP reported that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry -- in Vienna for multilateral talks on Syria and Libya -- would also meet with the Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents.
