YEREVAN, June 4. /ARKA/. The OSCE Minsk Group is the only international
agency fully informed of the Nagorno-Karabakh problem, RA Deputy
Foreign Minister Shavarash Kocharyan told Novosti-Armenia.

"At present it is the only international agency fully informed of the
problem and its genesis and is in touch with the task group monitoring
the cease-fire regime," Sh. Kocharyan said.

He said that the Minsk Group is the format progress can be associated
with, considering such "leading players" as Russia, the USA, France
and the European Union (EU).

"This is a competent authority through it sometimes plays up to
Azerbaijan. Bu I have the impression that the OSCE MG Co-Chairs
have come to realize that playing up dopes not at all contribute to
progress. On the contrary, it makes Azerbaijan take on a harder line,
which is a way to a breakdown of talks," Sh. Kocharyan said.
