Commenting on the statement of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs that
the time has arrived to finalize and endorse the Basic Principles and
move to the drafting of a peace agreement on the Karabakh conflict,
Director General of the National Energy Security Fund Konstantin
Simonov said that one can agree with the OSCE Minsk Group that,
indeed, there are not any reasons for further delays.
Nevertheless, according to Simonov, the OSCE Minsk Group's activity
is basically dictated by the fact that it needs to specify its stance
somehow. "Otherwise, a question arises for what the OSCE Minsk Group
is needed, if there is no progress in the situation," he said.
"In my opinion, all these statements of the Co-Chairs are an attempt to
justify their functioning, to remind of themselves and works carried
out and even to give hope that there will be a breakthrough.
However, as far as I recollect there were several promises on
breakthrough in the Karabakh conflict settlement. They were made with
respect to different information occasions. Unfortunately, despite all
promises, there is no progress in the problem resolution. There are
not any documents that would at least theoretically allow handling it.
And I have no grounds to think that the OSCE Minsk Group's activity
has brought nearer the problem resolution," Day.az quoted Simonov
as saying.
