Minsk mediators and Armenian leadership discussed situation around  Karabakh settlement

ArmInfo.On June 10, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan received the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group Igor Popov (Russia), Richard Hoagland (USA), Stefan Visconti (France) and Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk.

As the presidential pres service told ArmInfo, the interlocutors  discussed issues related to the process of peaceful settlement of the  Karabakh problem. The situation was on the line of contact between  the Karabakh-Azerbaijani troops and the Armenian-Azerbaijani state  border, including incidents that took place recently on the front  line were discussed. Participants of the meeting noted the importance  of loyalty to obligations towards a peaceful settlement of the  conflict in the negotiation process, as well as the implementation of  the reached agreements at the highest level.

On the same day, Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian met with  the mediators, who drew the attention of the co-chairs to the fact  that Azerbaijan not only failed to fulfill the agreements reached in  Moscow between the foreign ministers of Armenia, Azerbaijan and  Russia in April with the participation of the mediators regarding the  agreed identical text that media published from both Armenian and  Russian sides, but also issued another absurd comment that allegedly  during a meeting in Moscow, the ministers noted not the importance of  implementation of agreements but discussed the agenda of the summit  talks.

According to the Armenian Minister, despite the fact that the  mediators' statement of May 18 - is not the first address, Azerbaijan  continues to ignore calls of intermediaries. According to Nalbandian,  the situation is coming when the countries co-chairs, as mediators,  must not only make statements, but also resort to appropriate  concrete actions in order to curb the destructive and provocative  policy of Azerbaijan.
