RUSSIAN DIPLOMAT REACTS TO ALIYEV’S CRITICISM OF MINSK GROUP
BAKU, APRIL 2, ARMENPRESS: In a somewhat angry reaction to Azeri
president, Ilham Aliyev’s criticism of the OSCE Minks group for
“failing to develop new proposals for regulation of the Karabagh
conflict,’ the Russian co-chairman of the group, Yuri Merzlyakov
countered that the group has developed new proposals, but cannot
bring the conflicting sides at negotiation table to discuss them.
In an interview with a Baku-based 525 Gazet, the Russian diplomat
said it is impossible to draft proposals that would be welcomed by
all parties and therefore they will continue their efforts, hoping
for the soonest resumption of talks.
