    New OSCE MG suggestions unrelated to Azeri offers in Kazan, analyst says

    July 1, 2011 - 20:03 AMT


    PanARMENIAN.Net - New offers to be submitted by OSCE MG co-chairs to
    conflicting parties do not refer to Azerbaijan's suggestions advanced
    at Kazan meeting, CIS States Institute's Yerevan subsidiary director
    stated.

    In a conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, political analyst
    Alexander Markarov commented on French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe's
    statement suggesting additional offers to achieve agreement on
    Karabakh issue will be submitted to conflicting parties.

    `Were the offers coordinated by the co-chairs they would've been
    included in June 24 negotiation package,' he remarked.

    Markarov disagreed with the suggestion that France is attempting to
    assume leadership among mediators in Karabakh issue talks. `Although
    Russia was the locomotive in the negotiations, the country closely
    contacted with the other mediators, always presenting a coordinated
    position during talks,' the analyst stressed.

    The summit between Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia in Kazan on June 24
    completed without an agreement on basic principles of Nagorno Karabakh
    conflict settlement. `The countries' leaders registered mutual
    understanding on a range of problems, the resolution of which boosts
    creation of conditions for approving main principles. The meeting
    participants considered the course of works carried out with the aim
    of coordination of the project with basic principles,' according to
    the statement. The Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan expressed
    gratitude to the Russian, French and U.S. leaders, the OSCE Minsk
    group co-chairs, for `their constant attention to Nagorno-Karabakh
    problem' and highly praised personal efforts of the Russian President
    in support of agreements.

    Later on Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward Nalbandian noted that the
    June 24 meeting was not a breakthrough, as Azerbaijan proved unready
    to accept the final version of the basic principles suggested by the
    OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs. Instead, the Azerbaijani leader attempted
    to impose 10 new proposals, thus precluding the possibility of any
    agreement on the issue,' he added.
