"The format of the OSCE Minsk Group will hardly change," said
Chief of the OSCE Office in Yerevan, Ambassador Sergey Kapinos,
when asked by Aysor paper’s correspondent to comment a statement by
Kazakhstan’s Foreign Minister and OSCE co-chair Kanat Saudabayev,
who said, that Kazakhstan has got its interest in settlement of the
Karabakh conflict. This statement, in its turn, lead to some mis-
or disinformation that the format of the OSCE MG may be changed.
"Formats’ breaking is one of the most dangerous things, as it leads
to unpredictable results in talks," said Sergey Kapinos. He added
that the existing format of the OSCE MG is quite balanced and optimal.
"It represents three leading players on the world stage: Russia, France
(as the EU envoy) and the United States. These are the three powers,
which have their interests in the region and are not indifferent to
the problems that exist here," he added.
