The co-chairs of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in
Europe's Minsk Group have again rejected the use of force in settling
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman
Alexander Lukashevich has said.
"The Minsk Group's report to the OSCE Permanent Council says that
the conflict has no military solution and that the parties' political
will alone can forge a positive result," Lukashevich said at a press
briefing in Moscow on Thursday.
The co-chairs of the Minsk Group also reported "what steps they have
been making to improve the atmosphere of the talks, to build trust
and to consolidate the ceasefire regime," he said.
Lukashevich announced that at the end of November the Minsk Group
co-chairs plan to visit the region for talks with the Azeri and
Armenian presidents.
The reports says that more than 14 bilateral meetings have been
held this year with the Azeri and Armenian presidents, according
to Lukashevich.
"The talks with the Azeri and Armenian leaderships addressed progress
in the peace process, and the work to draft the basic principles of
the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement that was being done with the Russian
president's personal participation and in strong cooperation with
his counterparts in the United States and France," he said.
