Turkey is trying to make a mountain out of a molehill by presenting
a normal diplomatic procedure as a significant political event," a
high-ranking European diplomat told NEWS.am, commenting on Turkish
media reports on Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister Unal Ceviköz's
participation in the meeting of the OSCE Minsk Group.
The source said that the Ambassadors of the 11 OSCE MG member-states
hold biennial meetings in Vienna. The Turkish side submitted a request
for Unal Ceviköz to represent the state in place of the Turkish
Ambassador. The source pointed out that the Turkish Deputy Foreign
Minister's participation in the meeting has nothing in common with
the OSCE MG's activities or position on the Nagorno-Karabakh peace
process. On the contrary, the mediators have repeatedly stated that
Turkey is not nor will it be involved in this process, that is, in the
OSCE MG Co-Chairs' activities, the diplomat said. Ankara is obviously
making futile attempts to appear involved in the process, he said.
