OSCE Minsk Group is presently considered the best mediation format, German Ambassador says.
Resolution of the Karabakh conflict will be beneficial to all the South Caucasian republics, said Germany’s Ambassador to Armenia Hans-Jochen Schmidt.
“In my address on the anniversary of Armenia’s Independence I expressed hope that Armenia, together with its partners, will come to a mutually acceptable agreement on the Nagorno-Karabakh issue,” Schmidt told journalists on Tuesday.
He stressed that the OSCE Minsk Group is presently considered the best mediation format. According to him, resolution of the Karabakh conflict will stimulate economic activity in the entire South Caucasus.
“Besides, I hope the issue of closed Armenian-Turkish border will be solved. I consider it one of the last remains of the Cold War,” he added. Schmidt stressed that all the OSCE states, including Turkey, have expressed political will to unblock the now-closed borders and provide free trade turnover.
