/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The OSCE Minsk Group is an efficient format for
the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement, the Armenian Foreign
Minister said.

"The talks are continued on the basis of the OSCE MG Co-chairs’
proposals and I think there are good prerequisites for resolution
of the conflict, what can create new opportunities for regional
cooperation," Edward Nalbandian said, the RA MFA press office reported.

Commenting on Azeri media reports, according to which OSCE MG U.S
Co-chair Matt Bryza said that Turkey can help Armenia to assume a
more flexible stand on Karabakh, Minister Nalbandian said, "Mr Bryza
has erroneously said Armenia instead of Azerbaijan, since Turkey can
only influence on Baku to take a more flexible stand."

"Both Turkish and Azeri leaders speak of ‘one nation and two
states’. So, the talk about Ankara’s possible influence on Yerevan
is an exaggeration," the Minister said.
