Mammadyarov: Replacement of Mann Not to Have Negative Impact on Karabakh Process
Azeri FM Elmar Mammadyarov is sure that replacement of US co-chair of the OSCE MG Steven Mann will not have a negative impact on the process of the Nagorno Karabakh settlement. In his words, this is owing to professionalism of US diplomats. «The important thing is that Americans remain in the settlement process and want to continue it,» the Azeri FM said. One to two months are enough for bringing the new co-chair up to date, Mammadyarov said.

We remind that the previous OSCE MG co-chair Steven Mann is appointed Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Central and South Asia.
