You can "skirt the issue" if you talk about other issues not the one at hand.
You can "beat around the bush" if you take a long time getting the the point, and don't say the main issue.
You can redirect a conversation somewhere else by answering a question with another question about a different topic.
You can sidetrack a conversation by interrupting it with another conversation and getting off the issue.
You can "skate around" a topic by intentionally not bringing it up even though it's obvious.
You can deflect a question by getting the topic to change course, or by directing attention away from the first topic.
(Pharases in quotes are idioms.)
Are any of these what you're looking for?
