Baku against reviewing group of Karabakh settlement brokers

BAKU. March 15

The co-chairmen of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in
Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group will again visit the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict zone in early April, Azerbaijan’s Foreign Minister Elmar
Mammadyarov said at a press briefing on Friday.

Addressing the prospects for the next meeting of the Azeri and
Armenian presidents, Mammadyarov said that the agenda of such a
meeting should be clarified first.

The minister also disagreed with a broadly discussed proposal to
review the current composition of the OSCE Minsk Group, which today
includes Russia, the United States and France.

“First and foremost, I would not call the co-chair countries
pro-Armenian because each of these countries pursues a policy in line
with its interests. Besides, all three countries are permanent members
of the UN Security Council, have been playing a key role in the
international arena, and could make a positive contribution to the
settlement of the Karabakh conflict,” he said.
