Warlike statements by Azerbaijani are impeding Karabakh conflict settlement, that meanwhile provoked hostility in Karabakh conflict zone in the past, RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian said at the press conference in Yerevan.

Speaking of OSCE Minsk Group efforts and Madrid Principles, he maintained that the workflow in the frames of OSCE MG goes on and sides keep on submitting their working proposals. “The process will go on until the sides reach a consensus,” Minister noted.

Commenting on international community’s efforts to resolve Karabakh conflict, Nalbandian underlined that EU and other organizations can play a crucial role in securing ceasefire and removal of snipers from the contact line. “The parties have not reached final enhancement on ceasefire, the question with snipers is still open, as only one side gave its consent over the matter, while the other one keeps on making warlike statements,” RA Foreign Minister concluded.
