A GHUKASIAN: OSCE MG NOT EXPECTED TO MAKE NEW PROPOSALS

The OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs are not expected to make any new proposals during their recurrent regional visit, President of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic Arkady Ghukasian stated, RFE/RL reported. “All the possible variants are already on the bargaining table. The process is under way. The parties should mature. It first of all refers to Azerbaijan”, A. Ghukasian noted. He also refuted the possibility of negotiating on the return of 7 regions adjacent to Nagorno Karabakh. “This approach is not serious, since the issue of territories cannot be viewed apart of the common context. We highlight the status of Karabakh while Azerbaijan accentuates the issue of territories. The edges do not come together and I can’t say when it will happen”, the NKR President noted adding that “the problem should be settled a the bargaining table.”
