    Azerbaijan is trying to have the OSCE Minsk Group dissolved, said the
    Armenian foreign minister Vardan Oskanyan during the question and
    answer session at the National Assembly. "Azerbaijan is trying to
    launch the process of dissolution of the OSCE Minsk Group through
    the secretariat of the OSCE. They have officially requested,"
    Oskanyan stated.

    The OSCE Minsk Group has wasted its resource and is unable to fulfill
    the goals which it had set, said the Azerbaijani political scientist
    Zardusht Alizadeh to 1news.az. "As a matter of fact, the efforts of the
    OSCE Minsk Group are meant to have Azerbaijan agree to the secession
    of Nagorno-Karabakh. It is possible to change the format of the OSCE
    Minsk Group only in case of agreement of both sides, and Armenia will
    not agree to it," said the Azerbaijani political scientist.

    Russia is for the OSCE Minsk Group to continue to mediate the
    settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which is in the interests
    of both Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as the international community,
    stated the deputy minister of foreign affairs of Russia Grigory
    Karasin in a news conference on March 20.

    If Baku continues to carry on the current policy, Yerevan will
    recognize Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and sign agreements with this
    country, including a military agreement, stated the acting president
    of Armenia Robert Kocharyan in a news conference on March 20. "If the
    Azerbaijani side dislikes this format, it does not mean that we must
    let it fail. If they do not want to negotiate, they may not do it,"
    said the head of the Armenian state, adding that Baku must think
    about its future and who will be responsible for further actions.

    In fact, it is evident that the most urgent issue today is not
    what has happened but what will happen. Who if not the OSCE Minsk
    Group? For it is evident that the Armenian and Azerbaijani sides are
    not ready for talks without mediators. It is also evident that the
    present co-chairmanship of the Minsk Group is the most optimal for
    preventing Baku from sparking a war.

    What is awaiting the region in case the Minsk Group is biased for
    the military way of resolution of the conflict? Who wants war?
