"The delay in achieving a balanced framework agreement is unacceptable"
Baku. Victoria Dementyeva - APA. As a part of G-8 summit, the
Presidents of the US, Russia and France, the co-chair countries of the
OSCE Minsk Group, have issued a joint statement on the settlement of
the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. APA reports quoting RIA Novosti that
the statement signed by Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin and Francois
Hollande expresses deep regret over the fact that the parties have
not been able to solve the problem in the process of negotiations:
"We want to express our deep regret that instead of finding a solution
in accordance with mutual interests, the parties continued attempts
to seek unilateral advantages. We are confident that further delay
in achieving a balanced framework agreement leading to the peaceful
settlement of the conflict is unacceptable and urge the Azerbaijani
and Armenian leaders to focus with updated energy on the solution of
the issues that are still open."
The presidents believe that the statements issued by them in the past
four years must lay the foundation for the fair and lasting settlement
of Nagorno Karabakh conflict. They consider that the clauses must be
regarded as a single whole, as any attempt to give preference to one
of them may impede finding a balanced way of solution.
"We urge the leaders of all parties to reaffirm the commitment to
Helsinki principles, especially to the non-use of force, territorial
integrity, equality and the people's right to self-determination."
