Yerevan: OSCE Minsk Group plays key role in Karabakh settlementJuly 27, 2022 - 11:16 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmanship plays a key role in reaching a comprehensive and lasting settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mizoyan told reporters in Prague on Tuesday, July 26. Mirzoyan thanked the Czech side for its continued support to these efforts and the role the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmanship plays. "Nearly two years after the secession of hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh, humanitarian issues remain unresolved. Azerbaijan continues to hold Armenian prisoners of war and civilian hostages, using them as a political weapon. Also, Azerbaijan’s policy of destruction, desecration of the Armenian cultural and religious heritage in the territories fallen under Azerbaijani control is of great concern. In this regard, we expect a targeted response and practical action from the international community," the Armenian Foreign Policy chief said. "The realities resulting from the use of force and mass violations of human rights cannot create a sustainable foundation for regional peace and security. Armenia has repeatedly stated its readiness for constructive dialogue, refrained from preconditions and warmongering rhetoric, for sustainable peace and development of our region."
