ArmInfo. The OSCE Minsk Group, which is seeking to resolve the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, has failed to make any progress toward
a solution of the dispute, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu
said late Sunday.
The Armenian occupation of Azarbaijani territory in Nagorno-Karabakh
had been going on for 17 years, Davutoglu told the Anatolian Agency
in Damascus, where he is attending the 36th meeting of the OIC Council
of Foreign Ministers.
He added it was hard to disagree with Azerbaijani President Ilham
Aliyev, who recently criticized the performance of the Minsk Group,
which was set up in 1992 and co-chaired by Russia, the United States
and France.
"The historic record shows it. There has been no progress. It is
time to revive this process. Turkey will continue its efforts,"
Davutoglu said.
Davutoglu also said Sunday that Aliyev and Sargsyan would meet on
numerous occasions in the coming period and expressed his wish that
those meetings bring a solution that would please all parties.
The Turkish foreign minister will travel to Baku on Monday together
with his Azarbaijani counterpart Elmar Mammadyarov. He will hold
meetings with Mammadyarov and Aliyev on a wide range of issues
including the Nagorno-Karabakh issue.
