Armenia has never doubted that the Co-Chairmanship of the OSCE Minsk Group is the most effective mechanism for the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, especially now. This is what Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Zohrab Mnatsakanyan declared during a joint press conference with Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov in Moscow.

“What is happening in Nagorno-Karabakh is a clear manifestation of aggression that will have a rather serious impact on the efforts, but the efforts will continue. There is no alternative to a peaceful settlement. If Baku has chosen force as a method to achieve conditions and have maximalist positions, there won’t be a peaceful settlement and there won’t be peace in the region,” Mnatsakanyan said.

In response to a question about Turkey’s role, the minister stated that Turkey is currently sending mercenary terrorists and providing active military support to Azerbaijan which can’t be welcomed in any way.
