/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The statements by the OSCE Minsk Group French
Co-chair Bernard Fassier "contradict the Moscow declaration,"
Khazar Ibrahim, a spokesman of the Azeri Foreign Ministry, said when
commenting on Amb. Fassier’s statement about the necessity to engage
Nagorno Karabakh in talks.

"These statements are absolutely incorrect, because there are Armenian
and Azeri communities of Nagorno Karabakh," Ibrahim claimed, Day.az
reports.

The OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs are perfectly aware of the position
of Nagorno Karabakh authorities, French mediators Bernard Fassier
said in Yerevan earlier this week.

"We are frequent visitors to Stepanakert and it would be incorrect to
say that NK is completely excluded from the negotiation process. The
people of Karabakh are engaged in talks in a way Representatives of
Nagorno Karabakh will be at bargaining table sooner or later," he said.
