All OSCE Minsk Group members should participate in talks on the
Nagorno-Karabakh settlement, Deputy Azeri Foreign Minister Araz
Azimov said.
"I do not speak of changing the format of the talks, but on the need
for a comprehensive use of the Minsk Group's potential, which has
not happened as yet," Azimov said.
"We could discuss the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict at least once a month,
with participation of the co-chairmen, as well as with other Minsk
Group member countries," he said. The position of European countries
with their democratic values could tell favorably upon the negotiating
process, he said.
"I do not attack the co-chairmen, that [are represented by] influential
nations. But the inclusion of other Minsk Group countries could
exert a favorable influence," he said. He said that the Minsk Group
represented many countries with their interests: Turkey, Germany,
Sweden and their inclusion could help to prevent monopolization of
the talks.
The co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group working as a mediator for
solution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict are the U.S., Russia
and France.
