Replacement of OSCE MG format in Karabakh conflict settlement - politically unreasonable

Time will show whether Hague court ruling on Kosovo will affect resolution of Karabakh and Transdniestria issues, German Ambassador to Armenia Hans-Jochen Schmidt said.

As he stated at news conference in Yerevan, “It's important that Madrid principles were used as basis for Karabakh conflict settlement.”

“Replacement of OSCE MG format in Karabakh conflict settlement is politically unreasonable,” the diplomat noted, reminding that Ankara's recent efforts to intensify own involvement in the issue led to unfavorable results.
