The OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs who had arrived in Azerbaijan on Thursday refused to answer journalists’ questions.
French Co-Chair Bernard Fassier stressed he would make a statement after the meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, ANS TV reported.
Fassier recalled the Co-Chairs had already met with Armenian President, Foreign and Defense Ministers. “Tomorrow we will meet with Azerbaijani President, Foreign Minister and, if we manage, Defense Minister. Our mission’s goal is to intensify efforts to agree on fundamental principles on peaceful resolution of the conflict. We cannot answer the questions as topic of the talks is never revealed before the meeting,” Fassier said.
On February 10, OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs Robert Bradtke (U.S.), Bernard Fassier (France) and Igor Popov (Russia) arrived in Azerbaijan.
