Elmar Mammadyarov
"We welcome the fact that the OSCE Minsk Group, including the foreign ministers of the OSCE Minsk Group member-states, attach a great importance to Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and the matter is being discussed”
The statement came from Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov at a joint press conference by results of a bilateral meeting with Foreign Minister of Singapore George Yeo, commenting on the results held in Moscow on the eve of a meeting of the foreign ministers of Russia and the United States, Sergei Lavrov and Hillary Clinton.
"We knew that this issue will be discussed in Moscow. As for the replacement of Russia's co-chair of OSCE Minsk Group, I would say that if the resolution of any conflict was associated with a specific individual, it would have been very difficult”, the minister noted.
The minister expressed confidence that the soonest replacement of Russia's co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group will not affect the Karabakh settlement, because it does not mean a change in position of official Moscow on this issue.
"We believe that Russia holds the unique position. As you know, President Medvedev is personally involved in negotiations trying to attain a breakthrough in this process in a peaceful way", said Elmar Mammadyarov.
