OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs have reiterated that it is unacceptable to solve Nagorno-Karabakh conflict through use of force.
The statement came from Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Alexander Lukashevic.
“The report of the Group (to the OSCE permanent council) states that the conflict has no military solution and that only a political will of the parties may lead to positive outcome,” Lukashevic told a briefing in Moscow on Thursday.
The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs also gave an insight on “steps taken to improve atmosphere in talks as well as to consolidate trust-building measures and ceasefire.”
The co-chairs plan to visit the region later this month to meet Azerbaijani and Armenian leaders “to continue their mediation efforts in a work with the parties,” the spokesperson said.
The Minsk Group report to the permanent council also said that over 14 separate meetings were held with Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents this year.
“The contacts with Armenian and Azerbaijani leadership focused on peace process, work on draft basic principles of resolution of Nagorno-Kaabakh conflict conducted with the deep involvement and personal participation of the Russian President in coordination with their U.S. and French counterparts,” Lukashevic noted.
