Turkey’s OSCE Minsk Group membership is improbable, political expert
Alexander Iskandaryan told reporters commenting on Russian Foreign
Ministry Spoksman Andrey Nesterenko’s statement over Baku offer on
Turkey’s Minsk Group membership.
"Armenia will not agree with the format," Iskandaryan said. Minsk
Group doesn’t assume a decision not based on mutual consent, he said.
"I think, this shouldn’t be dealt as a real political perspective,"
the expert said.
Andrey Nesterenko told a briefing Thursday that Russian diplomats are
observing Baku offer over Turkey’s MG membership, as well as Iran’s
offer over becoming a mediator in Nagorno-Karabakh settlement process.
"We need to get in contact with all those involved in the negotiation
process, and assess their attitude on these issues to make the
appropriate assessments. Later, after making contacts with our
colleagues, we will be able to give detailed explanations," Nesterenko
said, according to the Russian MFA.
