Novruz Mammadov, head of the international relations department of
the Azerbaijani presidential administration, has accused the OSCE
Minsk Group co-chairmen and the personal representative of the OSCE
chairman-in-office, Andrzej Kasprzyk, of being partial.
"Unfortunately, the co-chairmen have put themselves outside a neutral
position and international law. This can neither have a strong
impact on the talks, nor can it increase the trust of major powers
in international organizations," APA news agency quoted Mammadov
as saying.
He was also critical of Andrzej Kasprzyk. Mammadov said that despite
knowing that the Armenians started fires in the occupied territories,
Kasprzyk did not take a fair position. "The position Kasprzyk took
with regard to the fires started by the Armenians on Azerbaijani
territory is wrong," Mammadov said, according to the news agency.
