AZERBAIJANI LAWMAKER SLAMS THE OSCE MINSK GROUP
BAKU, FEBRUARY 1, ARMENPRESS: An Azerbaijani
parliament member lashed out today at the OSCE Minsk
Group accusing it of hampering, instead of helping,
the peace solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
In an interview with the Russian RIA news agency,
Elman Mamedov questioned the sincerity of the latest
statement by the Minsk Group which they made after
visiting Baku and Yerevan to discuss ways to end the
dispute. The Azeri lawmaker claimed that the best
description that can be given to the OSCE Minsk Group
that is made up of cochairmen from Russia, France and
USA is 'a travel agency."
Mamedov went as far as to say that the cochairmen's
latest statement was an 'irresponsible' move,
questioning also their assertions that the
responsibility for ending the conflict lies on the
presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan. "If the
presidents could agree on a peace deal why then we
have the Minsk Group?" he asked.
"Azerbaijan has no room to concession. It's stance
is clear, the conflict must be resolved based on the
principle of territorial integrity of Azerbaijan,' he
said.
