Expert: Azeri attempts to change OSCE MG format won't affect talks
March 24, 2012 - 14:10 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijan has repeatedly tried to alter the format
of OSCE Minsk Group, as well as transfer the issue to the UN,
political expert Alexander Manasyan said.
`Azerbaijan always tried to find `suitable' mediators, believing thus
it can push the negotiation process to favour it,' he told a press
conference in Yerevan.
`Irrespective of whether France will be replaced by EU or not,
everything will depend on immediate participants of the negotiation
process. The only prerequisite for some changes may be EU's offer of
proposals and attitudes, new in principle, to the conflict
resolution,' he said.
`Mediators play the part of mere advisers, and they cannot force the
parties to take decisions that harm them,' the expert added.
On March 23, European Parliament's Committee on Foreign Affairs
adopted a document on Armenia, proposing to replace France's mandate
in OSCE Minsk Group on Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement with that
of the European Union. The document is to be put to vote at European
Parliament's plenary session supposedly in a month.
