YEREVAN, June 18. /ARKA/. The OSCE Minsk Group has done its best for
the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement, the Vice-Speaker of the RA Parliament,
ARF member Vahan Hovhannisyan told reporters.
According to him, the OSCE MG Co-Chairs have really carried out serious
work, and no international structure - the Council of Europe, UN,
or CIS - has a similar task group for the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement.
Hovhannisyan pointed out that OSCE MG has not yet exhausted its
potential, considering the fact that the Co-Chairs have achieved
certain results.
"Under the circumstances the Co-Chairs have do their best, and,
despite their frequently contradictory statements made in Armenia and
Azerbaijan, the mediators have carried very serious work and created a
document which can at least serve as a basis for the Nagorno-Karabakh
settlement," Hovhannisyan said.
He pointed out that Armenia is satisfied with the group's work,
"as we see the development and more profound perception of the issue,
especially because the document reflects this perception."
Speaking of Azerbaijan's attempts to state that this format is
inefficient and the Nagorno-Karabakh problem must be considered by
other structures, for instance the UN, Hovhannisyan pointed out that
similar attempts have repeatedly been made.
He pointed out that official Baku has tried to change the format at
various level, particularly get it included on the CE agenda.
"Azerbaijan is well aware that the larger is the structure and
the better are their chances, as numerous Muslim countries are
represented in the UN and they are absolutely unaware of the essence
of the conflict. However, showing purely religious solidarity they
will vote for Azerbaijan's document, which is frequently the case,"
Hovhannisyan said.
The negotiations for the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict have been held
within the OSCE Minsk Group since 1992. The OSCE MG is co-chaired by
the USA, Russia and France.
