Baku hopes for France, U.S. to be as active in Karabakh resolution as Russia
BAKU. Oct 7
Having France and the United States join Russia's active efforts to
resolve the Karabakh conflict could lead to a change in the status quo
in resolving the problem, Azeri presidential administration official
Ali Gasanov said.
A change in the status quo will mean compliance with the four
resolutions of the United Nations Security Council on Karabakh,
primarily, the withdrawal of the Armenian troops from Azerbaijan,
Gasanov, who is in charge of socio-political affairs in the Azeri
presidential administration, told journalists on Friday.
"I think that by actively joining the process in the future, France
will prompt the U.S. to do the same, and joint efforts of all three
co-chairing nations [the Minsk Group of the Organization for Security
and Co-operation in Europe] will lead to a change in the status quo,"
he said.
So far, the only active mediator in the Karabakh settlement process is
Russia, he said.
Baku attaches great importance to the visit by French President
Nicolas Sarkozy to the South Caucasus these days, given that this
country is one of the co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group, Gasanov
said.
