  • OSCE MG Co-Chairs Meet With FMs Of Armenia & Azerbaijan

    ORGANIZATION FOR SECURITY AND CO-OPERATION IN EUROPE

    OSCE MINSK GROUP CO-CHAIRS MEET WITH THE FOREIGN MINISTERS OF ARMENIA
    AND AZERBAIJAN

    The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group (Ambassadors Robert Bradtke of
    the United States of America, Igor Popov of the Russian Federation,
    and Jacques Faure of France) and the Personal Representative of
    the OSCE Chairperson-in-office, Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk, met on
    September 2 with the Foreign Minister of Armenia, Edward Nalbandian,
    and on September 3 with the Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan, Elmar
    Mammadyarov, to address recent events in the region and efforts to
    peacefully resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

    The Co-Chairs discussed with the two Ministers the August 31 decision
    of the Government of Azerbaijan to pardon Ramil Safarov, an Azerbaijani
    army officer who had been serving a life sentence in Hungary for the
    brutal 2004 murder of an Armenian officer in Budapest.

    They expressed their deep concern and regret for the damage the pardon
    and any attempts to glorify the crime have done to the peace process
    and trust between the sides.

    The Co-Chairs reiterated to both Ministers that, as their Presidents
    stated in Los Cabos on June 19, there is no alternative to a peaceful
    settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. They will continue to
    maintain contacts with the sides to reduce tensions and advance the
    peace process.
