STEPANAKERT. – The statement of the Foreign Ministers of OSCE Minsk group Co-Chairing states on Karabakh conflict resolution is important for the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict as superpowers once again indicated the unacceptability of the use of force, head of the Central Information Department of the Office of NKR President David Babayan told the reporter of Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“In any statement like that, the main message must be sought directed to the sides of the conflict as well as to the international community. By their last statement the co-chairs once again indicated that the use of force and the destabilization of the region are unacceptable,” David Babayan mentioned.

As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, the Foreign Ministers of OSCE MG Co-Chairing states called upon the sides to demonstrate the political will needed to achieve a lasting and peaceful settlement. This is stated in the joint statement of the FMs of Russia, the USA and France.

In particular, the co-chairs urge the leaders of the conflicting sides to complete work as soon as possible on the framework agreement and subsequent final settlement – based on the Helsinki Final Act principles of non-use of force or threat of force, territorial integrity, and self-determination and equal rights of people; the United Nations Charter; and norms and principles of international law – which will allow the entire region to move beyond the status quo toward a more secure and prosperous future.
