PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian issued
a statement on OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair countries' joint statement
on Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement.
"We highly assess the efforts by the presidents of OSCE MG Co-Chair
countries. The statement issued during G-20 summit in Los Cabos
may foster Nagorno Karabakh talks. Armenia is committed to peaceful
settlement of the conflict. We, too, like the co-chair countries,
regret that despite the joint statement at Deauville in 2011, no
progress has been achieved due to Azerbaijan's non-constructive and
maximalist position at Kazan meeting.
Armenia will continue efforts to reach agreement on basic principles
of the conflict resolution.
We, too, like the co-chairs, called to respect the 1994 ceasefire
agreement, urging to abstain from hostile rhetoric.
Azerbaijan, in contrast to Armenia, rejected mediators' offers to
remove snipers from the contact line and to develop mechanisms for
investigation of border incidents.
Azerbaijan not only keeps turning down mediator's proposals, but also
grossly violates the ceasefire through constant attacks.
Armenia, unlike Azerbaijan, has repeatedly expressed readiness
to continue talks based on OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries'
statements issued in L'Aquila, Muskoka, Deauville and in Los Cabos,"
Minister Nalbandian's statement reads.
