Kazakhstan to arrange Sargsyan-Aliyev meeting in Astana

During the past two months, Azerbaijan doubled efforts to spread anti-Armenian propaganda. Baku doesn’t spare financial and human resources to slander Armenia in the eyes of the international community.

“Azerbaijan shows complete reluctance to reach a compromise on Karabakh,” head of the Armenian delegation to OSCE Parliamentary Assembly Aram Safaryan said.

As to Kazakhstan’s chairmanship in the OSCE, he said official Astana has essential tools to promote resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. “Organization of Sargsyan-Aliyev meeting in Astana is currently under discussion on the initiative of Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev,” Mr. Safaryan said.

He also emphasized that continuous violations of the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) by Azerbaijan prove that the country is preparing for war.

For his part, member of the Armenian delegation to the OSCE PA, Khachik Harutyunyan said that the delegation will work for adoption of the resolution prohibiting the OSCE member countries from using force in conflict settlement.

He also informed that the OSCE PA president Joao Soares will make a report on the outcomes of his regional visit due in March.
