It is not expedient to change the format of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group on the Karabakh conflict.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated the aforementioned, according to RIA Novosti news agency of Russia.

In his words, it is not advisable to change this format because the three Minsk Group Co-Chairs  (Russia, US, and France) are the most important mechanism for achieving a resolution to this conflict.
