James Warlick: Success of peace over Karabakh depends on sides, not co-chairs
13:06 * 24.05.14
The success or failure of the peace process over Nagorno-Karabakh
depends on the political will of the sides, not on any one member of
the Minsk Group, according to the US co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group.
James Warlick made the statement in an interview with the the
Azerbaijani news agency APA, as he addressed the future of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement talks.
The diplomat said he would look forward to working with his Russian
and French colleagues to continue bringing new ideas to the table and
helping the sides find their way into real negotiations on a peace
agreement.
Asked about his Twitter post suggesting the joint use of the Sarsang
reservoir's water resources, Mr Warlick replied,
"The Sarsang reservoir represents an opportunity: people on both sides
of the Line of Contact could work together to have an immediate,
positive impact on those living in areas affected by this conflict. A
mutually acceptable solution would address demand for reliable
electricity and irrigation water, just as it did before the conflict
began. We continue to support any measures that could reduce tensions
and begin restoring trust between the sides."
The OSCE Minsk Group, composed of US, French and Russian co-chairs,
has been spearheading the peace efforts over Nagorno-Karabakh since
1992.
