The document of the European Commission on foreign policy about
changing the mandate of France on settling the Karabakh conflict with
EU mandate in OSCE Minsk Group (MG) will not increase the efficiency
of the efforts of OSCE MG, head of the Central Information Department
of the Office of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic President David Babayan
told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
According to him, changing the mandate will not improve the work of
OSCE MG.
"What will it give? Nothing. After all, it is not because of France
that the settlement of the conflict stumbles but because of the
unconstructive disposition of Azerbaijan. France does not play a
negative role, it is just the opposite. The problem is in Azerbaijan
that does not want to change its disposition," he pointed out.
David Babayan mentioned that during all those years of its existence
OSCE MG has achieved many positive results and any attempt to interfere
or restructure the format will lead to endangering the negotiations.
Babayan reminded the words of US co-chair to the OSCE MG Robert
Bradtke, who had stated that even if it has been possible to
achieve something in 20 years, that is better than nothing. The
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is complicated and it cannot be settled by
a pre-given plan. OSCE MG has achieved many results and it would be
right to continue in that direction.
Earlier, the European Commission on Foreign Policy adopted a document
on Armenia which foresees to replace France's mandate with EU's in
OSCE MG.
