Turkish Foreign Minister speaks of the necessity to "revive the NKR process"
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.

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, Hurriyet Daily News reported.
