    Azerbaijani president critical of OSCE Minsk Group

    Baku. (Interfax-Azerbaijan) - Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has
    criticized the Minsk Group of the Organization for Security and
    Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) for its role in trying to settle the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict over the past 12 years.

    "I cannot give a positive assessment since the OSCE Minsk Group has
    not taken any really effective steps over this period," Aliyev told
    journalists on Wednesday.

    "The Minsk Group's current approach and its position on settling this
    conflict cannot play a positive role since the group has restricted
    itself to merely monitoring the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh," he
    said.

    The Azerbaijani president also denied statements from the Armenian
    authorities that Baku and Yerevan had allegedly reached certain
    agreements on the conflict's settlement.

    "There have never been any such agreements. This is another lie from
    Armenia," he said.
