Aliyev discussed the matter with the chairman-in-office of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), Foreign Minister of Malta Ian Borg on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference. The President of Azerbaijan noted the importance of the official abolition of a number of mechanisms within the OSCE that he described as “relics of the past”, including the OSCE Minsk Group, the High-Level Planning Committee and the institution of the personal representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office.
