Azerbaijan confirmed that Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov will take part in talks in Moscow on Friday, as Azeri and ethnic Armenian forces clashed again over Nagorno-Karabakh.

With Russian President Vladimir Putin calling for a halt to military actions in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the Kremlin extended the invitation to Bayramov and his Armenian counterpart Zohrab Mnatsakanyan on Friday.
