/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The OSCE assumed the task to assist in resolving
the Nagorno Karabakh conflict by a UN decision, OSCE Minsk Group
Russian Co-chair, Ambassador Yuri Merzlyakov told a news conference
in Yerevan today.
Transfer of the issue to another institution should proceed from a
mutual agreement of the sides and the OSCE MG, according to him.
"Any UN member state is entitled to introduce draft resolutions. The
General Assembly can pass them, but these will be non-binding
resolutions. Transfer of Karabakh problem to the UN is wrong from
legal, political and diplomatic standpoint," the Russian mediator
underscored.
He also advised to refrain from looking for divergences in the
Co-chairs’ statements and asking about the detail of the negotiation
process.
For his part, French Co-chair Bernard Fassier said the UN format is
inadmissible for the Karabakh conflict resolution
