James Warlick, the OSCE Minsk Group CO-Chair of USA, has called on the Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents to accept French President Hollande's offer to the Paris Summit.
Talking to VOA, Warlick said it would be good if the presidents accepted that invitation. That would allow launching constructive negotiations, he said.
In this light, the U.S. diplomat said they actively work with their Russian and French colleagues. He reaffirmed the United States' commitment to the Minsk process and its readiness to assist the parties in the peace process.
To recall, in the course of his latest visits to Armenia and Azerbaijan, the French president offered the two countries' leaders to resume their meetings to find a peaceful solution to the Karabakh conflict. He said France will help organizing such meetings and invited the two leaders to Paris. Swiss President Didier Burkhalter, who had also visited Armenia recently, supported the idea of resuming the high-level negotiations between Yerevan and Baku and offered launching a new phase of structured negotiations for resolution of the Karabakh conflict.
