The upcoming meeting of Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders in Paris was discussed at the meeting of the mediators and Foreign Minister of Armenia Edward Nalbandian in Yerevan.
In this context, Minister Nalbandian said that Azerbaijan has intensified ceasefire breaches ahead of the meeting, as it usually does ahead of high-level meetings.
He said that Azerbaijan declares its commitment to the development of a peace treaty, but still attempts to discuss the issue at other international organizations, which torpedoes the work of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs. "With its non-constructive steps Azerbaijan shows that it is not ready to settle problems," the minister said.
He drew the attention of the co-chairs at the statements Baku has made on behalf of the mediators claiming that the OSCE MG, allegedly, suggested to start negotiations around the elements meeting the interests of Azerbaijan. "This once again shows Azerbaijan's dalliance with the upcoming meeting of the presidents in Baku," Nalbandian said and reaffirmed Armenia's commitment to the peaceful resolution of the Karabakh conflict under the aegis of the OSCE MG.
