threat of war
20:10 / 10/02/2009
The involvement of Nagorno-Karabakh in the negotiations does not
depend on the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs, stated Bernard Fassier,
French Co-Chairs of the OSCE Mnsk Group. Nagorno-Karabakh
representatives participated in the negotiations before, but thing
changed because of the Armenian side’s decision, he said. Fassier
pointed out that Nagorno-Karabakh’s involvement in the negotiations
depends not only on the Armenian side, but, to a certan extent, on the
Azerbijani side.
The French Co-Chair also said that the Nagorno-Karabakh problem will
be solved under agreements reached with Baku. Azerbaijan recognizing
Nagorno-Karabakh’s status will put an end to the threat of a new war,
Fassier said. With international guarantees, it becomes much more
serious, he said.
Fassier expressed hope that the Armenian-Azerbajani presidential
meeting that is to be held in Kihshinev, Moldova, will really take
place.
We would remind you that OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs, Robert Bradtke
(USA), Yuri Merzlyakov (Russia) and Bernard Fassier (France) arrived
in Nagorno-Karabakh today as part of their regional visit. They held a
meeting with NKR President Bako Sahakyan.
