Russian MFA makes no official statements over OSCE MG new Russian
co-chair appointment
OSCE Minsk Group (MG) Russian Co-Chair Yuri Merzlyakov has received a
new appointment, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Andrei Nesterenko
told a press conference in Moscow today.
The diplomat said there was no need to pass ahead of the developments.
`We will announce the new co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group from Russia
after Merzlyakov ends his mission as an Ambassador at large.'
As Nesterenko said, the co-chair is not determining Russia's position
at the OSCE Minsk Group. This position is determined by the President
and realized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, particularly their
special representative at the Minsk Group.
`Therefore let's wait. Russia will do its best to save the energetic
working schedule of the OSCE Minsk Group,' he highlighted.
Panorama.am recalls that according to non-official reports, Merzlyakov
is due to be appointed as the Russian Ambassador to Estonia, while
Igor Popov will assume as the OSCE MG Russian co-chair.
