RA MFA: Azeri media means distorted words of OSCE MG Co-Chairs

PanARMENIAN.Net - "I strongly doubt that the OSCE MG Co-Chairs on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement stated in Baku as if Armenia must "free the 7 regions" and "Nagorno Karabakh is Azerbaijan's integral part"," RA MFA Acting Spokesman Vladimir Karapetyan stated to the PanARMENIAN.Net journalist. He said nothing similar might happen proceeding from what Bernard Fassier and Yuri Merzlyakov were speaking after meeting with the leadership of Armenia. "The Co-Chairs are well aware of their mandate, in which they cannot make statements that actually predetermine results of talks. And similar statements, which Azeri media spread, speak namely about that," Karapetyan underlined.



APA agency cited Yuri Merzlyakov's statement that, "the OSCE MG recognizes Nagorno Karabakh as a component part of Azerbaijan". And Azeri press assures as if Bernard Fassier stated that "It is necessary to decide what must be done first. I think for the beginning it is easier to free the 7 regions and after that to start discussions of those issues, which directly concern Karabakh".
