(MENAFN- AzerNews) When the OSCE Minsk Group on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict was
created, the parties harbored the hope that the great men of the
great countries would find a mutually acceptable formula for the
settlement of the conflict. However, endless negotiation processes,
various platforms under various slogans, increasingly diverted the
problem from its solution.
Each proposal of the Minsk Group obviously carried thresholds
that could not be crossed. Chattering the process was beneficial to
the Armenian aggressor.
Territories are occupied. Everything that is not destroyed or
robbed is used for the profit of certain people, the so-called
leaders of the Karabakh movement, who, under this flag, usurped
power in Armenia, having robbed it, and became dollar billionaires.
And all this happened against the backdrop of the impoverishment of
the Armenian people.
At the same time, almost a million Azerbaijanis who became
refugees on their land were forced to drag out a miserable
existence. The Armenian side tried to drag out this
anti-Azerbaijani process for decades. It is no coincidence that the
dirty bastard Kocharyan said that 'if not Pashinyan, then we could
bury the heads of Azerbaijanis for another 40 years.'
Having given the Armenians in the teeth in the 44-day war, the
Minsk Group was buried once and for all.
Although today in Armenia and in some circles of the West one
can see a pathetic attempt to restore this stinking political
remnant of the Armenian-Western bond.
“The US administration claims that the mechanism of the Minsk
Group of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe
(OSCE) is no longer functioning and Washington is engaged in a
peaceful settlement between Azerbaijan and Armenia only in the
process of interacting directly with Baku and Yerevan, TASS
reports.
'I think it has evolved to the point where we can, through
consensus, end this mandate,' Senior Adviser to the US Secretary of
State for Caucasus Negotiations Philip Reeker said Wednesday of the
group.“Nevertheless, the mandate itself is quite useful. Although
the process [of interaction] between the co-chairs of the Minsk
Group is no longer functioning. And we participate directly with
the parties [to the conflict] in their peace process,” the diplomat
said, speaking at a hearing in the US Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations. co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group are Russia, the United
States and France. Washington and Paris curtailed all contacts with
Moscow within the Troika after Russia launched a special military
operation in Ukraine.“The Minsk Group, as it was known, is not
functioning. The mandate remains. The purpose of the mandate, of
course, remains. And the OSCE operates on the basis of consensus. I
remain in very close contact with my French colleague, with the EU,
which is now so [deeply] involved in the region, with other
stakeholders, with the OSCE itself,” Ricoeur said.
'Azerbaijan has simply declared that it will no longer deal with
the Minsk Group,' he added.
Meanwhile, Senator Benjamin Cardin (D-Maryland), who took part
in the hearings, urged the United States to seek the elimination of
the Minsk Group. In addition, he argued that the group is used for
their own purposes by those parties who 'do not want to move
forward towards peace'ю
There is nothing to add to this! The Minsk group dead!
