Naira Zohrabyan: statement by OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmen had certain addressees

Member of Prosperous Armenia parliamentary group Naira Zohrabyan said that the statement by the Heads of Delegation of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair countries recalled provisions of the joint statement on Nagorno Karabakh at the OSCE Ministerial meeting in Athens.

Meanwhile, it clearly reads that the Karabakh conflict resolution should be based on the provisions of Helsinki Final Act: non-use of force or threat of force, people’s right to self-determination and territorial integrity, Zohrabyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

According to her, the aforementioned statement contains a certain message for Azerbaijan, suggesting that some offers should not be withdrawn from the discussed document’s text to be presented as main issues of the negotiation process.

“This provision is of keen importance, as Azerbaijan has always stated that the issue of territories is the main one in the talks,” she said.

Zohrabyan added that it is high time for the mediators to express their stance on the Azerbaijani bellicose statements.

“It is high time that the statements of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmen have certain addressees - so that speaking about the incident near Chaylu settlement, they mention the side responsible for it,” concluded Zohrabyan.
