STEPANAKERT. – The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Ministry of Foreign Affairs (NKR MFA) has commented on Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov’s statement made against James Warlick, the US Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group.   

“This statement is yet another manifestation of the destructive position of Azerbaijan aimed at undermining the format of the triple co-chairmanship of the OSCE Minsk Group and artificial protraction of the settlement of the conflict between Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh.

“Such a stance of Azerbaijan testifies to the absence of its interest in the final settlement of the conflict,” the NKR MFA comment reads. 

In his statement, Araz Azimov had harshly criticized James Warlick, and noted that the Azerbaijani party may demand that Warlick be recalled from his capacity as OSCE Minsk Group co-chair.
