Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov told the Ukrainian
paper Dyen that they are not planning to change the format of the
OSCE Minsk Group in resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Azimov said that a change of format could be an option for some other
conflict. The OSCE Minsk Group operates according to the Helsinki
Act of 1975. USA, France and Russia are co-chairs of the group and
permanent members of the UN Security Council. Resolutions of the
UN Security Council passed in 1993 demand liberation of occupied
territories, return of refugees and realization of other measures.
Officials of Armenia and Azerbaijan may take part in the work of the
group. Speculations around Azerbaijan's avoiding negotiations are
false, the deputy minister concludes.
