Baku. Rufet Ahmadzadeh - APA. "By saying Nagorno-Karabakh need to
have their voices heard in the negotiations during a press conference
in Armenia, the OSCE Minsk Group's US Co-Chair James Warlick did not
mean Nagorno-Karabakh's participation in the peace negotiations as a
third side", press secretary of the US Embassy in Azerbaijan Nicholas
Barnett told APA.
The ambassador then added that US policy regarding the format of the
OSCE Minsk Group negotiations remains the same.
Noting that he clarified the matter, the embassy representative said
in his response to a tert.am employee's question about the tensions
on the front line and the probability of NK's participation in future
negotiations as a third side, Warlick said:
"It's a tragedy when innocent civilians become victims of war. It
incites me to work to avoid civilian casualties as well as putting
an end to the violence, but particularly civilian casualties. These
are often innocent men, women and children who are victims. It's
extremely important for both sides to find ways to avoid these kinds
of casualties. The incidents on the border are a tragedy. With regard
to the defacto authorities in NK, their voice needs to be heard. That
is precisely why the Co-Chairs travel to NK on a regular basis to
meet with the de-facto authorities".
