Co-chairs to report
The Co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group summed up the results of their visits to Baku, Stepanakert and Yerevan within the framework of their regional shuttle diplomacy and declared them productive.
The next meeting of presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliev will take place within the next two months.
"We can't go into the details of the talks. After all, we must show respect toward the presidents and the principle of confidentiality in the process. But I think that this was an appropriate time for us to return to Baku and after our talks here, we can start thinking about the next meeting of the presidents to take place in the next two months," declared Minsk Group co-chair Matthew Bryza.
The co-chairs gave a negative assessment to the efforts of Azerbaijan to move the peace process to the UN through plans and documents.
The co-chairs are planning to pay a visit to Vienna soon to present a report to the diplomats of all member-countries of the Minsk Group. The statement made by the co-chairs in Baku made it clear that the main point of their report will be maintaining the continuity of bilateral meetings and talks, which is the guarantee for a peaceful solution of the conflict.
The OSCE Minsk Group is composed of thirteen member-countries, including Turkey. The French co-chair tried to explain Turkey's interest in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict by saying that it is conditioned by Turkey's membership.
