Changing of the Minsk Group format is not on the agenda of the OSCE,
Vice-Speaker of the Azerbaijani Parliament Bahar Muradova said to
journalists on 24 September, Trend News reported.
"I think that is a right decision," she said.
According to Muradova, the situation in the region made the OSCE
countries refuse from double standards. "As long as settling of
conflicts is lingered, the international community will be facing
more serious threats," she said.
"The key topic on the OSCE agenda is the normalization of
Russia-Georgia relations. OSCE tries to restore the former relations
between Russia and Georgia through negotiations. Azerbaijan also
supports normalization of the relations between the two countries,"
Vice-Speaker said.
OSCE can achieve resolution of the conflict in the region only by
means of talks. OSCE is concerned that Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has
not yet been solved, therefore, the Organization posed the question of
making all efforts for sooner solution of the problem, Muradova said.
