Azerbaijan, Baku, 20 November / Trend corr. E.Ostapenko/ The Geneva talks, co-chaired by the OSCE, UN and EU, have been constructive and that the next round of talks would discuss concrete proposals, according to OSCE.
The discussions had gone well and represented a step forward, said Heikki Talvitie, the Special Envoy of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office.

The next meeting will be on 17 and 18 December, and we will already deal with concrete questions at that point.

"We cannot proceed in Geneva if we don't proceed on the ground," Talvitie
said.
On Nagorno-Karabakh, Talvitie said there was a new kind of optimism prevailing
since the Presidents of Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan signed a document after
talks near Moscow on 2 November.
