    The announcements and actions of Azerbaijan's senior officials have
    nothing to do with their commitments to continue process of peaceful
    resolution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

    The due announcement is contained in a statement of the acting
    spokesman for Armenian Foreign Ministry Tigran Balayan regarding the
    recent declarations made by Deputy Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan
    Araz Azimov.

    The next day following the voting in the UN General Assembly on the
    resolution regarding Nagorno Karabakh, on March 15, Azimov did not
    exclude that if necessary the co-chairmanship institute of the OSCE
    Minsk Group, formed in 1997, can be replaced.

    The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on Nagorno Karabakh
    demanding the immediate withdrawal of Armenian armed forces from the
    occupied lands of Azerbaijan, which requests to confirm its right
    for Nagorno Karabakh and adjacent regions with 39 countries voting
    for, 7 against and 100 abstained from voting on March 14. The United
    States, France and Russia, which are co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group,
    voted against the resolution.

    "Despite the statement of Azimov, the letter, which Azerbaijan sent
    to the OSCE, was connected with possible breaking up of the OSCE Minsk
    Group, which was done before the voting in the UN General Assembly on
    the Baku-initiated draft resolution on Nagorno Karabakh", Balayan said.

    He noted that it proves the falseness and demonstrativeness of the
    statements of some senior officials of Azerbaijan.

    According to Balayan, this is also proven by the fact that Azerbaijan
    ruined possibility of presidential meeting which was to be held in
    April at the NATO summit in Bucharest.

    "We agree with the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs and we do hope that this
    step and the opinion voiced by Azimov, does not reflect the position
    of Azerbaijan leadership", Balayan said.

    OSCE Minsk Group co-chair Matthew Bryza does not consider that
    Azerbaijan's request on breaking up the OSCE Minsk Group reflects
    the country's position on the highest level.

    Commenting on the information that Azerbaijan has sent a request on
    suspension of the mediatory mission of the OSCE Minsk Group on the
    Karabakh conflict settlement, Bryza voiced doubt that the request
    reflects the position of the Azerbaijani government on the highest
    level.
