ArmInfo.Russia, as a co-chair country of the OSCE Minsk Group, has repeatedly spoken about the negotiation format, which can be changed based on the consent of the parties. Official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova state this during a briefing. "If the parties at some stage agree that Nagorno-Karabakh will be represented again in the negotiations, then this will be the decision of the parties, and we will respect it," she said.
According to her, other members of the Minsk Group share this position. She also recommended paying attention to the latest statement of the co-chairs, which reflects the approaches of Russia, the United States and France on this issue. To recall, Yerevan insists on the return of Nagorno-Karabakh to the negotiating table. Meanwhile, the Minsk mediators in their last statement noted the inexpediency of a unilateral change in the negotiation format.
