Azerbaijan wishes Turkey to become a member of the OSCE Minsk Group,
according to Faik Bagirov, the Azerbaijani ambassador to Ankara.
Speaking to the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet, the diplomat said his
country reacted to President Abdullah Gul's statement calling for
the suspension of France's mediation efforts in the Minsk Group.
It comes after the French National Assembly adopted the bill outlawing
the denial of the Armenian Genocide.
"The adoption of the bill harms the peace efforts in the South
Caucasus, deteriorating the relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan,"
Gul said.
The OSCE Minsk Group spearheads the efforts to find a political
solution to the conflict in and around Nagorno-Karabakh involving
Armenia and Azerbaijan. It is co-chaired by France, the Russian
Federation and the United States.
