The foreign ministers of the co-chair states of the OSCE Minsk
Group have made a statement on the 20th anniversary of mediating the
Nagorno-Karabakh process, urging the conflicting sides to show the
political will needed for settling the problem.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, US Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton and French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe signed the joint
statement. They urged the sides to start work on a framework agreement
based on the Helsinki principles, non-use of force, territorial
unity, equality, the UN Charter and the norms and principles of the
international law.
Any prolonging of a resolution of the conflict causes more suffering
for people affected by the war.
Presidents Medvedev, Obama and Sarkozy confirmed in a joint statement
in Deauville on 24 May 2011 that settling the conflict through
negotiations would bring peace, stability and rapprochement.
Progress was made in the joint statements of the presidents in Aquila
in 2009, Muskoka in 2010 and Deauville in 2011.
Azerbaijani, Russian and Armenian Presidents Ilham Aliyev, Dmitry
Medvedev and Serzh Sargsyan made a joint statement in Sochi on 23
January 2012, confirming their commitment to speeding up the peace
process.
