OSCE MG Co-chairs replacement not to justify itself

PanARMENIAN.Net - Replacement of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs dealing with settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict by other intermediaries will not justify itself, said MP Mubariz Gurbanli, deputy executive secretary of the ruling New Azerbaijan Party (NAP).



"Three countries - France, Russia and the United States - are represented in the OSCE Minsk Group and they are the permanent members of the UN Security Council and of the G8. These three countries have great authority in the world. Which other countries can replace them? Intermediary should be strong. If strong intermediaries fail to settle the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, so how will weak intermediaries do that? Through strong countries we have more chances to achieve the goal. Formal participation of weak countries will produce no effect. The problem can be solved in the framework of the OSCE Minks Group through sticking to the principle 'the strong one is the right one'," Gurbanli said, Trend Azeri news agency reports.



Several days ago Azerbaijan sent a letter to the OSCE Secretariat urging to recall or replace the Co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group.
