Rice: attempts to change OSCE MG format should be disregarded
Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan met Tuesday with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the RA government's press office reported.
Voicing opinion that Nagorno Karabakh talks should be continued in the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group, Dr Rice said that attempts to change the format should be disregarded.
For his part, PM Sargsyan emphasized that one-sided support to the principle of territorial integrity and neglect of other norms of the international law are jeopardizing the peace process.
Touching on the Armenian-Turkish reconciliation, he reiterated Armenia's willingness to establish diplomatic relations with Turkey without preconditions.
