/PanARMENIAN.Net/ OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair Yuri Merzlyakov stated
that initiatives on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement in the
framework of the United Nations impede the process of negotiations. He
said, that "efforts must be aimed at coordination of main principles
and not at fixing attention to other things." Yuri Merzlyakov
underlined that if the issue is discussed in the framework of the
United Nations, then the well-known reaction of Armenian side,
that demands to include Nagorno Karabakh in the talks, will be
undesirable. He stressed there is only one message in UN resolutions to
Armenia-that is to influence on Karabakh. That’s why Armenia declares
that in case of introducing the Karabakh issue in UN Azerbaijan will
have to speak with Nagorno Karabakh. The Russian Co-Chair is sure
this is undesirable for negotiation process, Trend reports.
