NATO official has said the organization supports the Minsk process
over the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, as the Alliance
does not take part at the negotiations.
James Appathurai, NATO Secretary General's Special Representative for
the South Caucasus and Central Asia said NATO does not have a role
in the peace process for the settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
"I do not think a distinct NATO role would help the process ahead,
rather to the contrary. NATO supports the Minsk process," Appathurai
told Trend.
He added that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict does receive high-level
international attention, most recently when President Francois Hollande
of France hosted talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
On the initiative of President Hollande, Azerbaijani President Ilham
Aliyev and Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan held a meeting on October
27 with the participation of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen to
discuss the settlement process of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Appathurai further said the Minsk Group is co-chaired by the U.S,
France and the Russian Federation and their engagement has been
continuous over two decades.
