The results of the negotiations of Azerbaijan and Armenia in Rambue,
France, forced the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs to reconsider the
positions of the conflicting sides. It is clear that the situation is
in very difficult stage and the co-chairs must refrain from any
statements, Trend reports quoting Araz Azimov, the Azerbaijani Deputy
Foreign Minister, as stating Lider TV channel.

`The co-chairs have to refrain from statements, as they don’t want to
risk. Spreading of information in any form can aggravate the
situation or change the course of the events,’ Azimov stressed. He
added that the current position of the co-chairs is true.

`The co-chairs will probable want to hold meetings with the
representatives of Azerbaijan and Armenia after the consultations in
Washington from 7 to 8 March,’ the Azimov underlined.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
