According to deputy minister replacement of French co-chair will not
affect the negotiations
Baku. Ramil Mammadli - APA. "The opinions that the forthcoming
elections in the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries - France, Russia
and US will create stagnation in the negotiation on settlement of
Nagorno Karabakh are fictitious", Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister
Araz Azimov told APA.
Deputy Minister said that the elections are a normal process and
held in every country: "But the position of the country is above
the elections and it has no relation to Nagorno Karabakh talks. The
country's known position before the election doesn't be changed after
the election. We haven't seen any difference between Robert Kocharyan
and Serzh Sargsyan. We don't see any arguments that the elections
which will be held in Armenia next year, influence the process. The
factor of elections in Armenia shouldn't be taken into consideration
so seriously. As regards the US, Russia and France, the situation will
not be changed, because the negotiations held towards the settlement of
the conflict have no relation to the election. The principal positions
and interests of the countries must involve them in the settlement
of the conflict. Therefore those, who claim that the elections will
create stagnation in the settlement process, are seeking pretext only".
Azimov underlined that the replacement of OSCE Minsk Group co-chair
Bernard Fassier by another one would not influence the Nagorno
Karabakh negotiations: "Fassier's predecessors were also replaced,
but no change occurred".
