Initiatives on Karabakh issue in framework of UN impede negotiations

PanARMENIAN.Net - OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair Yuri Merzlyakov stated that initiatives on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement in the framework of the United Nations impede the process of negotiations. He said, that "efforts must be aimed at coordination of main principles and not at fixing attention to other things." Yuri Merzlyakov underlined that if the issue is discussed in the framework of the United Nations, then the well-known reaction of Armenian side, that demands to include Nagorno Karabakh in the talks, will be undesirable. He stressed there is only one message in UN resolutions to Armenia-that is to influence on Karabakh. That's why Armenia declares that in case of introducing the Karabakh issue in UN Azerbaijan will have to speak with Nagorno Karabakh. The Russian Co-Chair is sure this is undesirable for negotiation process, Trend reports.
