OSCE OSCE Minsk Group is fully responsible for the unresolved
Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno Karabakh.

"Instead of dealing with their immediate responsibilities in the
negotiations for a peaceful settlement of Armenian-Azerbaijani
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the OSCE Minsk Group are interfering
with Turkish-Armenian relations", said Vugar Gadirov, chairman of
the youth organization of refugees and internally displaced persons
in Azerbaijan, member of the Council of State support to NGOs under
the President of Azerbaijan, at the event, dedicated to the 18th
anniversary of the Khojaly genocide.

"The mediation of the OSCE Minsk Group in the settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is ineffective and unsuitable. The OSCE
Minsk Group member-states created conditions for the spread of the
conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh. The 366th motorized infantry regiment of
the Soviet Army took part in the termination of civilians in Khojaly.

France has long had close ties with Armenia. But Washington has not
lifted Amendment 907 to the Act of Promotion of Freedom, directed
against Azerbaijan, and use it as leverage of pressure on official
Baku," he stressed.
