NATO Special Representative for the South Caucasus and Central Asia
James Appathurai said today that not the mediators but Armenia and
Azerbaijan are responsible for the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict.
Speaking at the videoconference organized by Armenia's Information
Center on NATO for the students of the YSU Center for European Studies
today, James Appathurai recalled that NATO is in no way involved in
the process of Karabakh settlement and supports the efforts by the
OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs, Mediamax reports.
He said that "everybody had big expectations from the Kazan meeting
held in summer 2011, but the results were disappointing".
The NATO Special Representative didn't give a clear answer to the
question whether the Alliance may follow the example of the Minsk
Group Co-Chairs and urge Azerbaijan to withdraw their snipers from
the contact line.
"I don't think NATO is authorized to advise the conflicting sides on
specific questions", said James Appathurai.
