OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs are minor functionaries, while the true
co-chairs are the presidents of the United States, France and Russia,
who, quite possibly, even do not really know what Mr. Merzlyakov,
Fassier and Bradtke do during their visits to Baku and Yerevan, said
Azerbaijani political analyst Vafa Guluzade in an interview with
Azerbaijani news source Day.Az.
"This troika gets pretty good pay, they fly to Baku and Yerevan and
taste the Azerbaijani and Armenian cuisine," added the analyst.
In Guluzade's opinion, OSCE Minsk Group's co-chair countries have
concentrated all their efforts on the opening of the Armenian-Turkish
border. "Talks about the likelihood that Turkey will become co-chair
of the OSCE Minsk Group resumed against this background. All of
these talks have a single goal - minimize Azerbaijan's discontent
with possible opening of Turkish-Armenian border."
"They will try to present Turkey's becoming co-chair of the OSCE Minsk
Group to Azerbaijan as a significant progress in a just settlement
of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. But this is
ridiculous. Because, if countries like the United States and Russia
do not resolve different causes of the Nagorno-Karabakh problem,
Turkey has no chance to solve it either.
"Armenian leadership insists on opening of borders with Turkey against
its will and certainly not out of love for Turks, but because of a need
to address its own serious economic problems," concluded the analyst.
