YEREVAN. July 11 (Interfax) - Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian will meet with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov in Brussels on Tuesday, a spokesman for the Armenian Foreign Ministry told Interfax.

"Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian will meet with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov in Brussels on July 11 with the mediation and in the presence of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs," the spokesman said.

Tensions escalated in the Karabakh conflict zone on July 4 after Azerbaijan had accused the Armenian army of shelling a village in the Fizuli district, causing the death of an elderly woman and a child. Stepanakert explained the incident with the return of Azerbaijani fire.

Yerevan and Baku said nonetheless that their foreign ministers would still have the meeting scheduled for July to address the Karabakh peace process.
