/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijan has sent an inquiry to the OSCE
Secretariat for recall or replacement of the Co-chairs of the OSCE
Minsk Group dealing with the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement,
Azeri Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov said.
"The MG Co-chairs were appointed during the Budapest summit in
1994. Their tasks are clear. However, if a party is discontent with
the activities of any of the Co-chairs, it can launch a procedure of
recall. We are deeply concerned that all of the three Co-chairs make
hostile statements as regards Azerbaijan. They defame our country
and oppose its territorial integrity," Azimov said.
Azerbaijan doesn't have an intention to change the Minsk Group
format, according to him. "These rumors are circulated by Armenia
and mediators," he said.
"The Co-chairs represent their own countries but not the entire Minsk
Group. Thereupon, they are not empowered to make statements on behalf
on the MG," he said.
Azimov said Azerbaijan keeps up cooperation with the co-chair
states. "However, we have sent an inquiry to the OSCE Secretariat
about recall or replacement of the mediators. We would like to know
whether we can do it, for Azerbaijan is also a member of the Minsk
Group," he said, Bakililar.AZ reports.
