OSCE MG to arrange meeting between Armenian, Azeri FMsAugust 28, 2015 - 12:09 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - OSCE Minsk Group plans to organize a meeting between the Armenian and Azerbaijani Foreign Ministers on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session in September, the group’s U.S. Co-chair said. In an interview with Azerbaijani news agency APA, James Warlick stated that the Co-chairs plan to travel to the region, but failed to mention certain dates. He also noted that it is highly necessary to reaffirm the sides’ commitment to the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Warlick had earlier told reporters in Yerevan that no comprehensive solution can be found to the conflict unless Artsakh’s status is clarified. Besides, the American diplomat once again stated that “the return of Artsakh adjacent areas is one of the key elements of negotiations.” Meanwhile, Nagorno Karabakh’s official stance on the issue remains unchanged. Elimination of causes but not the consequences of the conflict is a key aspect, Davit Babayan, a spokesperson for NKR President, said. He also noted that it is impossible to speak about the return of lands or any other issue unless Artsakh’s status is determined. Top stories Six total incidents have burned 19 old-growth trees.
