YEREVAN. – In their latest statement, the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs made clear difference between the problem and the addressee of the call, head of European Integration NGO Karen Bekaryan said.
“I do not remember such a statement of the Minsk Group Co-Chairs where they would make different calls to the parties,” he told reporters.
The statement issued by the Co-Chairs after their meeting with Azerbaijani FM Elmar Mammadyarov in particularly said: “We expressed to the Minister our serious concern about reported incursions across the Line of Contact and the Armenia-Azerbaijan border, resulting in casualties. The rise in violence that began last year must stop for confidence to be restored and progress to be made in the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process. We called on Azerbaijan to observe its commitments to a peaceful resolution of the conflict. We also call on Armenia to take all measures to reduce tensions. All sides must abide by the terms of the ceasefire agreement. Violence undermines efforts to bring about peace”.
