Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian received the Co-Chairs
of the OSCE Minsk Group, Robert Bradtke, Igor Popov and Jacques
Faure and the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office
Andrzej Kasprzyk.
Noting that the visit of the Co-Chairs to Yerevan on the day of the
18th anniversary of conclusion of the ceasefire agreement was symbolic,
Edward Nalbandian said ever since the establishment of armistice
the parties have had several opportunities to settle the issue,
but every time Azerbaijan has made a step backward, thus creating
obstacles for conclusion of agreements.
"Azerbaijan never managed to refuse from the temptation to solve
the issue through force, and continues its bellicose rhetoric,
the provocations at the line of contact, the purchase of armaments
instead of preparing its people for peace. This hampers the settlement
process and endangers the fragile situation in the region," Edward
Nalbandian noted.
During the meeting reference was made to the implementation of the
provisions of the joint statement of the Presidents of Armenia,
Azerbaijan and Russia issued in Sochi on January 23, particularly
the creation of mechanisms for investigation of incidents at the line
of contact.
