Karabakh settlement success doesn’t depend on OSCE MG: U.S. Co-chair

PanARMENIAN.Net - The success or failure of the Karabakh peace process depends on political will of conflicting sides, rather than any of the Minsk Group Co-chairs, the U.S. Co-chair said, commenting on Azeri leadership’s discontent over his Tweeter posts on the Karabakh settlement.

According to APA, James Warlick also spoke of his Twitter post, suggesting joint use of Sarsang reservoir by conflicting sides.

“The Sarsang reservoir represents an opportunity: people on both sides of the Line of Contact could work together to have an immediate, positive impact on those living in areas affected by this conflict. A mutually acceptable solution would address demand for reliable electricity and irrigation water, just as it did before the conflict began. We continue to support any measures that could reduce tensions and begin restoring trust between the sides”, he emphasized.

Earlier, Ambassador Warlick posted the reservoir photo on his Tweeter page, noting below, “This is Sarsang reservoir. It would be a positive step if the sides could jointly manage water resources.”

They also visited the Sargsang reservoir, and discussed its status and operations with managers of the facility. They expressed their hope that the sides (Karabakh and Azerbaijan) will reach an agreement to jointly manage these water resources to the benefit of the region.
