YEREVAN. – The attempts to bring the Karabakh talks out of the OSCE Minsk Group format do not have prospects, President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan said during a joint media conference with President of the European Council Donald Tusk.

He recalled that the declaration adopted as a result of Eastern Partnership summit in Riga confirmed full support for the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs and the statement by the leaders of co-chairing countries since 2009.

“No matter how hard Azerbaijan is trying to distort the essence of the negotiation process, the free will of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh is not disputed, and is reaffirmed by the mentioned statements,” he said.
