In a phone conversation with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar
Mammadyarov, OSCE Minsk Group French co-chair Bernard Fassier said
that his statement about Azerbaijan's military capability was the
result of misinterpretation.
According to the Azerbaijani news agency Trend News, Fassier expressed
his concerns about the fact that his words were misinterpreted and
circulated both in Azerbaijani and in Armenian press.
Fassier also clarified that as a diplomat and military officer he
could not allow himself to evaluate the state of the armed forces of
this or that country or the extent to which the country is prepared
to solve the conflict through military means.
Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry stated it was willing to hold
consultations with OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs and settle the matter.
At the NATO Parliamentary Assembly's 73rd Rose-Roth seminar in Yerevan
on March 11, Bernard Fassier had said, "I personally know how brave
the Armenian and Karabakh soldiers are."
