Baku. Anakhanum Idoyatova - APA. The OSCE MG Co-Chairs have issued a
statement on the outcomes of their next visit to the region.
The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group from the Russian Federation and
France (Ambassador Igor Popov and Ambassador Pierre Andrieu) traveled
to the region this week to meet with government leaders and
participate in an OSCE Monitoring Mission on the Armenian-Azerbaijani
border. The Co-Chairs were joined by the Personal Representative of
the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk. U.S.
Co-Chair Ambassador James Warlick could not attend for personal
reasons, but the U.S. side was represented on the trip, APA reports
quoting OSCE's official website.
In Baku, the Co-Chairs met with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev,
and in Yerevan, they met with Armenian President Serzh Sargsian. In
Yerevan, they also had consultations with Foreign Minister Edward
Nalbandian. In both capitals, the Co-Chairs discussed preparations
for the upcoming summit hosted by French President Francois Hollande
later this month in Paris.
The Co-Chairs recounted the recent meetings of the Presidents in Sochi
and Wales, and noted the stabilization of the situation along the Line
of Contact and border after the increase in violence this summer. They
also expressed hope that recent ceasefire violations would not
escalate.
In addition to their meetings with the Presidents, the Co-Chairs
participated in an OSCE Monitoring Mission on the Armenian-Azerbaijani
border. On both sides of the border, they met with local officials
and commanders to receive a briefing about security conditions. The
Co-Chairs urged the sides to take steps to reduce tensions and avoid
violence, particularly against the civilian population.
The Co-Chairs made a visit to the region on October 14-18.
