Baku, Fineko/abc.az. The process of settlement of Armenian-Azerbaijani
conflict over Nagorno Garabagh conflict can come back from the OSCE
to the UN.
Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov of Azerbaijan has claimed that
the proposal for transfer submit the peaceful settlement to the UN
Security Council is interesting.
"This issue should be analyzed in order to clarify the benefit for
Azerbaijan. It is known that three out of the five permanent members
of UN Security Council within the OSCE Minsk Group are involved in
Garabagh settlement process. The Security Council can make a positive
contribution to the process of Garabagh settlement. Moreover, in
1993 it adopted three resolutions on the basis of which progress
in resolving the Garabagh conflict can be achieved," Mammadyarov
considers.
Meanwhile, Azerbaijan is planning to hold a conference devoted to
the 20th anniversary of the OSCE Minsk Group on Garabagh settlement.
"We think to conduct the conference in this regard maybe not in
Azerbaijan, but in Europe to discuss the causes of the lack of any
progress over the past 20 years," the FM said.
It is planned to invite for the conference all the OSCE members. The
initiative has been already discussed with the OSCE Minsk Group
co-chairs, who backed it.
