(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 1. The OSCE Minsk
Group, created at one time to resolve the conflict between
Azerbaijan and Armenia, has become history, and less and less is
heard about this structure, which failed to perform its only, but
very important task. Now, if someone mentions the Minsk Group, it
is only to criticize this useless structure, which has not been
doing anything for 30 years.
Today, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken appointed new Senior
Adviser for Caucasus Negotiations.
'Today, I am announcing the appointment of Louis L. Bono as our
new Senior Advisor for Caucasus Negotiations. His efforts will
further our work on the peaceful resolution of conflicts in the
South Caucasus,' he wrote on his Twitter page.
Meanwhile, the retirement of the last Senior Adviser for
Caucasus Negotiations was announced on January 5, 2023.
As Ned Price, Spokesman for US State Department, said, Reeker's
departure in no way undermines the US' commitment to promoting a
secure, stable, democratic, prosperous, and peaceful future for the
South Caucasus region, which once again points to the fact that the
Minsk Group does not exist anymore.
'The US continues to engage bilaterally with likeminded
partners, like the European Union, and through international
organizations, like the OSCE, to facilitate direct dialogue between
Azerbaijan and Armenia,' he added.
Louis L. Bono served as Deputy Chief of Mission of the U.S.
Mission to International Organizations in Vienna. A member of the
Senior Foreign Service, he previously served as deputy chief of
mission at the Embassy to the Holy See, director of the Basrah
Regional Office, on the National Security Council, and as an
advisor to the Deputy Secretary of State and to the Under Secretary
of State for Economic and Business Affairs. His other postings
include the U.S. Missions to the EU and the UN and the U.S.
Embassies in Berlin and Islamabad.
