ATHENS, DECEMBER 2, ARMENPRESS: Turkey supports the OSCE Minsk Group
and the co-chairs in the Karabakh conflict regulation issue.
Turkey finds that the efforts toward the settlement of the conflict
will help to consolidate trust in the region. "These two processes
cannot be viewed as one," Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmed Davudoghlu
said in his speech at the 17th session of the OSCE Ministerial Council.
According to him, the establishment is the only All-European
institution which is a platform of joint discussions over security
issues. He called on the OSCE countries to use their opportunities
to reactivate the organization. "OSCE member states face such
new challenges which demand collective and agreed confrontation,"
Davudoghlu said, expressing gratitude to Russia for new suggestion.
Russia has come forth with the initiative of developing European
Security agreement.
Irish Foreign Minister Michael Martin assessed the dynamics of
meetings of the Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents as promising,
noting that though this process is not connected with the normalization
of Armenian-Turkish relations but may bring peace and stability to
the region.
Today the speeches of Armenian and Azerbaijani foreign ministers
Edward Nalbandyan and Elmar Mammedyarov are expected.
The works of the Ministerial Council's session will be summed up
today at a press conference by foreign ministers of Finland, Greece
and Kazakhstan.
The Ministerial Council is also expected to adopt a statement on
Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
