The OSCE Minsk Group for Nagorno-Karabakh will meet in July, Foreign
Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said on Thursday.
"The foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia met in Paris on June
18. This was the planned meeting organized by the co-chairmen of the
Minsk Group. It preceded the meeting by the mediators from any side,"
Lukashevich said.
"The ministers exchanged views on preparations for a framework
agreement on the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement due to the recent
deterioration of the situation on the Azerbaijani-Armenian border and
the line of contact. They discussed possible variants of the work in
order to ease tension in the conflict zone and considered approaches
towards investigating armed incidents," the diplomat stressed.
"We positively treat this event and we believe that it proves the
readiness by Armenia and Azerbaijan to continue the political dialogue
in compliance with the statement on Nagorno-Karabakh that the
presidents of Russia, the U.S. and France had made at the G-20 summit
in Los Cabos," he said.
