took place in the region after August 8 and Azerbaijan’s unceasing
efforts to doubt OSCE Minsk group’s efficiency Nagorno-Karabakh and

possible development of events.
In Georgy Petrossian’s opinion, the format of OSCE Minsk group meets
NKR approaches.

with which discussions targeted at Nagorno-Karabakh’s recognition as
a conflicting party start.
