institute. let's look at the tweet from the world food programme, reacting to the news that it is the winner of this year's nobelpeace prize. this is a powerful reminder to the world that peace and zero hunger go hand in hand. russia's foreign ministry says the armenian and azeri foreign ministers will travel to moscow today for talks on the disputed territory of nagorno karabakh. it's the first meaningful step towards ending close to two weeks of fighting in which hundreds of people have been killed in the mainly ethnically armenian enclave. famil ismailov from the bbc russian service explains the significance of this latest development. i would not expect that any azerbaijani or armenian officials wouldn't go to moscow on putin's personal invitation. but a lot will depend on the conversations in moscow on the situation on the ground, because both sides have staked too much on who will control karabakh and the seven surrounding regions, and everything will depend on if either side is content with what they have and ready to talk about ceasefire and removal of bodies of dead people, the fighters from the field.
