PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia does not give an adequate response to anti-Armenian statements by OSCE MG co-chairs for Karabakh conflict settlement, political expert Alexander Minasyan noted, commenting on recent statement by OSCE MG French co-chair Bernard Fassier.

“Mediators’ traveling from Yerevan to Karabakh suggests a trilateral negotiation process. Otherwise the co-chairs would not visit Stepanaket, as suchlike visits once again indicate Karabakh to be an established state,” the political expert told a news conference in Yerevan.

“We arrived in NKR from Baku, having crossed the line of contact for the first time over the past 9 years,” Bernard Fassier told a news conference in Stepanakert after the meeting with NKR President Bako Sahakyan. As OSCE MG French co-chair noted, crossing the line of contact is an event in itself.
