The impudent behavior of Azerbaijani president Aliyev is due to the silence of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs. Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Minister of State Artak Beglaryan told about this to a press conference Tuesday—and when asked about Aliyev's mocking statements addressed to the co-chairs, and his assertion that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is "settled."

"This is not the first time he mocks the co-chairs; not only mocks, but also debases. The co-chairs must start taking tough measures [against him]. They should not speak from the position of a mediator, but from the position of an arbitrator. Even if Azerbaijan says that the conflict is settled, everyone understands that the situation has only deepened. And all the co-chairs admit that the conflict has not been resolved. If Azerbaijan does not want to establish contact with the international community, then there need to be unilateral decisions by the international community," Beglaryan concluded.
