Turkish Ex-Ambassador to Baku: OSCE MG Insufficiently Active
Inaction is observed in settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict lately. It causes anxiety. The Nagorno Karabakh conflict awaits for its settlement for many years," former Turkish Ambassador to Baku and Washington, Head of the Eurasian Center for Strategic Research (ECSR) Faruk Logoglu said.

"The problem does not diminish, but expands. Minsk group co-chairing countries need to bring new dynamism to the case. I think neither Armenia, nor Azerbaijan benefits from inaction," he remarked. The ECSR leader believes that the Minsk Group was not active enough in settlement of the conflict. Faruk Logoglu said that in its time Turkey tried to take active part in the OSCE Minsk Group. "However, our country is fraternal to Azerbaijan and due to the known attitude of Armenia towards us, the MG sometimes listened to us, but sometimes did not. Turkey only confided to the information after US, France and Russia's seized the initiative," he said, reports APA.
