"Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will be regulated only when we see we have
reached the results we, our nation has been struggling for since 1988,"
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said during his meeting with the
representatives of the Armenian organizations in Beirut and Middle
East Tuesday, referring to the concerns whether Turkey can assume a
role in the settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict as a result of
the process underway.
President Serzh Sargsyan once again highlighted that the regulation of
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and the normalization of Armenian-Turkish
relations are not interconnected. He reminded that this has many
times been stated by the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs and the official
representatives of these countries.
In the frames of the regional visit to Yerevan on October 1, the OSCE
Minsk Group co-chairs Yuri Merzlyakov, Bernard Fassier and Robert
Bradke once again jointly announced they exclude the interconnection
of the two procedures.
"The co-chairs would like to once again reassure the statements made
by their countries’ governments that the so-called Minsk procedure
over the settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is an independent
process and should be conducted without any preconditions or ties,"
the MG officials said.
