“Opinion that France should be expelled from co-chairing the OSCE MG is heard frequently,” Azeri FM Elmar Mammadyarov said. “On the whole within the process the OSCE passed a resolution on April 24, 1992 determining the mandate of the OSCE Minsk Group. The document indicates that Armenia and Azerbaijan are parties to the conflict, while the Armenian and Azeri communities of NK are interested parties. Thereupon, some people start speaking of changing the mandate, etc. The process should first of all be launched at the OSCE and it will take time,” he remarked.
“The co-chairs become more active lately and positive outcomes were reached with their participation. I would like to mention the role of the co-chairs, especially the US, in discussion of the resolution on the fires in occupied territories at the UN GA. They reached certain consensus, owing to which a resolution was adopted by the UN GA for the first time in the history referring to the matter of occupied territories, having to do with Azerbaijan and Armenia. As it is known, a monitoring group of experts visited the region, specifically the NK. At present we are awaiting for the results of their work over the report. The document will probably made public in mid-November,” Mammadyarov said, reports Day.az.
