‘There are errors in the activity of the OSCE directed at the
regulation of political relations and conflicts. Unfortunately, OSCE
has not managed to settle the existing conflicts; it has achieved no
considerable progress in the resolution of the Armenian-Azerbaijani
conflict. That’s why I do not share the opinion that OSCE enjoys great
authority in the settlement of conflicts,’ Deputy Foreign Minister of
Azerbaijan Vagif Sadikhov declared.

According to Azeri media, the Foreign Minister declared that he does
not share the opinion about the great privilege of the OSCE over the
Assembly of Islamic Organizations in the settlement of conflicts. In
his words, starting last year the OSCE Minsk Group has activated its
efforts directed at resolution of the conflict.

`It was promoted by the absence of elections in Azerbaijan and Armenia
in the current year. In both countries there is still time before
elections, and the Minsk Group Co-Chairs are trying to use this break
to achieve some result,’ Azeri Deputy Foreign Minister said.
