"It’s been certain period of time since the principle of
self-determination to Nagorno-Karabakh people was set as formula for
Nagorno-Karabakh settlement process, conducted by the Minsk Group,"
Armenian National Assembly ARP deputy Gagik Minasyan told Panorama.am
referring to Azerbaijan’s statements on changes of the OSCE MG format.

According to the deputy, Azerbaijan has many times mentioned that the
Minsk Group process does not lead to the realization of Azerbaijan’s
goals and Azerbaijan cannot feel contented with the current process.

"Baku often condemns the Co-Chairing states. Once he blames France,
then Russia, the recent condemnations were addressed to the US.

Azerbaijan does everything possible to take the settlement of the
issue out of the Minsk process," G. Minasyan said.

Referring to Panorama.am inquiry why Azerbaijan is trying to take
Nagorno-Karabakh issue to another platform, G. Minasyan said: "I can
see one thing clearly: the OSCE MG Co-Chairs’ proposals do not meet
the disposition and the expectations of the Azerbaijani party."

Azerbaijan suggests discussing the Karabakh issue in the UN, then in
the EU and in the PACE. As the deputy said, this can mean a single
thing: the processes underway in the frames of the Minsk Group do
not logically satisfy Azerbaijan at all.
