OSCE MG: one can't say Karabakh doesn't participate in current talks

PanARMENIAN.Net - During a visit to Stepanakert, OSCE Minsk Group French Co-chair, Ambassador Bernard Fassier said time will come for Karabakh to be a more active participant in the talks.



"One can't say that Karabakh doesn't participate in current talks. I am hopeful that Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan will find some common ground, what will offer a possibility to define Madrid principles concretely," he said.



Commenting on the military parade in Baku, Mr Fassier said that a good intermediary should have a good knowledge of all parties to conflict, reported the Public Television of Armenia.



"After the St. Petersburg presidential meeting, the sides requested the mediators to continue their activities on the basis Madrid proposals. Both sides have questions and we are ready to coordinate then with Foreign Ministers," Russian Co-chair Yuri Merzlyakov said. "The sides can't reach agreement on 4 out of 14-15 Madrid principles," he added but refrained from mentioning which principles remain unsettled.
