The Co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group have issued a statement summing
up the results of their recent visit to the South Caucasus region.
The mediators have addressed their high-ranking meetings in Yerevan
and Baku and the recent monitoring on the Armenian- Azerbaijani border
between October 14-18.
The full statement runs as follows: "The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk
Group from the Russian Federation and France (Ambassador Igor Popov
and Ambassador Pierre Andrieu) traveled to the region this week to
meet with government leaders and participate in an OSCE Monitoring
Mission on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. The Co-Chairs were joined
by the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office,
Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk. US Co-Chair Ambassador James Warlick
could not attend for personal reasons, but the U.S. side was
represented on the trip.
"In Baku, the Co-Chairs met with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev,
and in Yerevan, they met with Armenian President Serzh Sargsian. In
Yerevan, they also had consultations with Foreign Minister Edward
Nalbandian. In both capitals, the Co-Chairs discussed preparations for
the upcoming summit hosted by French President Francois Hollande later
this month in Paris. The Co-Chairs recounted the recent meetings of
the Presidents in Sochi and Wales, and noted the stabilization of the
situation along the Line of Contact and border after the increase in
violence this summer. They also expressed hope that recent ceasefire
violations would not escalate.
"In addition to their meetings with the Presidents, the Co-Chairs
participated in an OSCE Monitoring Mission on the Armenian-Azerbaijani
border. On both sides of the border, they met with local officials and
commanders to receive a briefing about security conditions. The
Co-Chairs urged the sides to take steps to reduce tensions and avoid
violence, particularly against the civilian population.
