The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, mediating the
Azerbaijani-Armenian Nagorno-Karabakh peace process, will arrive
in the region on November 28. French Ambassador Jacques Faure will
replace Bernard Fassier as a co-chair of the OSCE MG and will be
introduced in Yerevan and Baku.
Vestnik Kavkaza reported earlier that the co-chairs' goal is to
observe the situation in the region and prepare a conference of the
Council of Foreign Ministers in Vilnius in December. They will meet
the Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents and foreign ministers.
Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov said that Baku has
no positive expectations from the visit. Armenia will try to benefit
from the visit.
At the summit of the Russian, Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents in
Kazakhstan the situation clarified itself but reached a stalemate. The
French president's visit to Yerevan and Baku was fruitless, Azimov
notes.
Felix Stanevsky, head of the Caucasus Department of the Institute
of CIS States, noted that the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh remains
tense and that conflict is still a threat. Russian diplomats and the
OSCE MG have developed principles for settlement of the conflict,
as it was pointed out in Aksville in July 2009.
The conflict settlement is being dragged out by the public views in
Armenia and Azerbaijan. It is not a matter of diplomacy, political
or media efforts, the expert concludes.
