Karabakh issue

YURI MERZIAKOV DWELLS ON SOME SUGGESTION

The Azeri side has already submitted the written
response to the suggestions of the OSCE Minsk Group on
the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement. According to
Azeri Press agency, Yuri Merzliakov, OSCE MG Russian
Co-Chair, made this statement. The source said that
Azeri FM Elmar Mamediarov handed the written response
to the suggestion to Merzliakov in London, already on
September 13. He also warned that the document is not
the final version and it should be elaborated in
collaboration with the co-chairs before handing that
to the other side in conflict.

Merzliakov also state that they haven’t received any
written response from the Armenian side, but certain
statement was made that said that the suggestion sent
by the co-chairs principally satisfies the Armenian
side, expect for some changes in the resolution.

One can only suppose what Merzliakov speaks about. But
we can state that after the discussion of the
situation with the fires at the UN and the recent
meetings between the foreign ministers and the
co-chairs, the OSCE MG co-chairs make the last attempt
to fix definite progress in the settlement process
this year.
