OSCE mediators urge Armenia, Azerbaijan not to involve UN in conflict
settlement

Baku, 16 February: The co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group have
called on the [Armenian and Azerbaijani] sides to abandon
initiatives, including within the UN General Assembly, which can
damage the positive development of the talks over the last few
months, Trend reports.

A joint statement says that the co-chairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group
on the settlement of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict, Yuriy Merzlyakov
(Russia), Bernard Fassier (France) and Matthew Bryza (USA), met the
personal representative of the OSCE chairman-in-office on the
Nagornyy Karabakh conflict, Andrzej Kasprzyk, in Paris on 14-15
February.

The co-chairmen expressed the hope that the sides will not miss the
opportunity they have had in the last few months of the negotiations
and that the foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia will meet in
the near future to eliminate disagreements on the main principles of
the future settlement agreement.
