ongoing negotiation process towards the settlement of the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict, managed under the OSCE aegis by the tripartite
co-Chairmanship of the Minsk Group, of which Italy is a member and
whose actions Italy recognizes and supports.
"Italy, consistently with the consolidated UE common positions on
the issue, therefore confirms its respect for and confidence in the
ongoing mentioned negotiation process, in the principles proposed
in its framework, and in the actions performed by France, Russian
Federation and the United States as co-Chairmen," the statement
