NATO PA Not Going to Substitute OSCE FormatJuly 14, 2006 - 17:01 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - "If Pierre Lellouche expresses his thoughts we are ready to discuss them, but it will not mean that the NATO PA wishes to substitute the OSCE MG format," Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian said when commenting on the information that NATO Parliamentary Assembly President Pierre Lellouche has organized proposals on Karabakh settlement for the Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents. "It makes no sense speaking of replacement of the OSCE Minsk Group," he said adding that though Nagorno Karabakh doesn't immediately participate in the talks the NKR authorities are completely aware of all the moves taken on the issue. Referring to Baku's statements on arsons on the territories around Nagorno Karabakh allegedly set by the Armenian side, the RA FM said, " We will not play their game. An international organization, I will not name it, requested us to clarify the situation and I replied rather strictly that we have no time to react to statements of the kind and play Baku's game. A monitoring was conducted and it showed the real state of things," Vartan Oskanian said, reported IA Regnum.
