"OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs have ceased to be mediators in the issue of
the peaceful resolution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict by demonstrating
open subjectivity".

The due announcement was made by Rauf Rajabov, editor-in-chief of
the "Third outlook" news agency, speaking at today’s international
conference "Caucasus-2007" in Yerevan.

He said serious internal differences are observed among the co-chairs,
which prevent them from being unbiased till the end. "Moreover, I do
not understand, how one can trust to speaker of Russia’s State Duma
Boris Gryzlov, who visiting Baku assures Azerbaijan of friendship and
at the same time holds a conference on the so-called Lezguin problem
in Moscow", says the Azerbaijani political scientist.

He noted that "a direct dialogue between Yerevan and Baku with
participation of the Armenian and Azerbaijani communities of Nagorno
Karabakh" is needed for the resolution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
