TREND Information, Azerbaijan
Sept 30 2006
The President of France Jacque Chirac told on September 30 in Yerevan
that he considers contradictive to carry out the regulation process
of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict from the framework of OSCE Minsk Group
and joining of other international organizations, particularly UNO,
to this process, Trend reports.
The French President said this by answering the questions presented
by Medimaks at the joint press-conference with the Armenian President
Robert Kocharyan.
"The co-chairs of OSCE Minsk Group splendidly work over the recent
period, and they are the best experts for Nagorno-Karabakh problem,"
he said.
I consider that if the instances that are well familiarized with the
conflict are involved in the settlement of the problem, it will be
productive, the French President stressed.
In addition, Chirac underlined that the final proposals put forward
by the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group are serious and voiced his
hope that Yerevan and Baku will accept them.
The Armenian president Robert Kocharyan stressed that the solution
to Nagorno-Karabakh conflict should be found by a professional team
of negotiators, but not international forums where the decision was
made through voting.
