PanARMENIAN.Net - The executive secretary of Yeni Azerbaijan party
expressed his appreciation of OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs efforts in
Karabakh settlement as well as attempts to approximate positions of
conflicting parties.
However, as Ali Ahmedov noted, commenting on a Paris-hosted meeting
between Armenian and Azeri Foreign Ministers, "the meeting being
necessary in conflict settlement efforts, the issue goes back 20
years. Seeing as no progress has been achieved during that period,
we believe serious changes are in order."
"Despite OSCE MG's optimistic statement for ministerial talks to be
able to promote the conflict settlement, we see no grounds for such
optimism," APA quoted Ahmedov as saying.
Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian met on Saturday,
October 28 with the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs Robert Bradtke, Igor
Popov, Jacques Faure and the Personal Representative of the OSCE
Chairperson-in-Office, Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk in Paris.
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov joined the parties
later.
At the meeting, the co-chairs stressed the necessity to ease tensions
between the conflicting parties, briefing those present on their
views for achieving progress in Karabakh conflict settlement.
The Ministers, in turn, announced their readiness to continue joint
work in reaching a peaceful solution.
In conclusion, the parties agreed to discuss the co-chairs' suggestions
during the latters' visit to the region in November.
