As the source in diplomatic circles told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, all Minsk Conference meets at the ambassadorial level semi-annually. "Since Turkey is a member of this conference, it takes part in a meeting. But in no case it can apply for membership in the OSCE Minsk Group on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, since Turkey is an interested party.
