Ter-Petrossian: OSCE MG co-chairing presidents’ statement on Karabakh harsherJune 26, 2012 - 21:58 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian National Congress (ANC) opposition bloc leader, ex-president Levon Ter-Petrossian commented on recent statement on Karabakh issue by three Co-Chairing Presidents of the OSCE Minsk Group, Vladimir Putin, Barack Obama and Francois Hollande at the G20 summit in Los Cabos, Mexico. As Ter-Petrossian noted at ANC rally, the tone of the message was perceptively harsher as compared to previous ones. “The Presidents were dissatisfied over the failure of Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev to implement Deauville statement and Sochi agreement, with ceasefire violations and military rhetoric continuing.” “Some experts believe that OSCE MG hasn’t lived up to expectations and note that even a short-term halt in its work might yield positive results,” ANC leader said. “According to the experts, halting mediatory mission and pressuring conflicting sides into action would promote peace agreement,” Ter-Petrossian said.
