ArmInfo.Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov touched upon the reaction of his Armenian counterpart Edward Nalbandian to the statement of the American  co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group Richard Hoagland on the six elements of the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

ArmInfo.The elements voiced by  the American co-chairman Richard Hoagland do not contain anything new  and are a paraphrase of the Madrid principles that have been  repeatedly published. Artsakh Foreign Minister Karen Mirzoyan told  Artsakh Public Television.

ArmInfo.The announcement by US Co-Chair of OSCE Minsk Group Richard Hoagland of six elements on the Karabakh settlement may indicate the desire of the United States to seize the initiative from Russia as the leading mediator in the Karabakh settlement and take a leading role in this process amid the crisis in relations between Moscow and Washington, the director of  the Center for Globalization and Regional Cooperation Stepan Grigoryan  expressed such an opinion during the conversation with ArmInfo correspondent.

ArmInfo.The statement of American co-chair of OSCE Minsk Group Richard Hoagland about the six points of the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict is not an ultimatum, press secretary of NKR president David Babayan said.

ArmInfo.The publication of the six principles for the settlement of Karabakh conflict by  outgoing US co-chair of OSCE Minsk Group Richard Hoagland is in no way connected with yesterday's meeting of the Armenian and Russian leaders Serzh Sargsyan and Vladimir Putin and is not conditioned by the crisis in Russian-American relations. This opinion was expressed  in the conversation with the correspondent of ArmInfo by the vice speaker of the Armenian parliament, press secretary of the ruling Republican Party Eduard Sharmazanov.

ArmInfo.Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbnadyan believes that the American co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group Richard Hoagland did not say anything new on the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement.

ArmInfo.There is nothing new or urgent in the elements announced by the US Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group Richard Hoagland to resolve the Karabakh conflict. Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesman Tigran Balayan stated this in a conversation with ArmInfo correspondent. Note that on the eve of late at night, the outgoing US Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, Richard Hoagland (who will be replaced by Charge d'Affaires at the US Mission to the International Organizations in Vienna, Andrew Chauffer), published 6 elements on the settlement of the Karabakh conflict. 

ArmInfo. The OSCE Minsk Group currently does not see the need for a new UN resolution on Nagorno-Karabakh. On March 27, during a press conference in Yerevan, the US co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group Richard Hoagland said,  answering the question of how likely is the adoption of a new UN  resolution on Nagorno-Karabakh.

ArmInfo. The latest incident once again stressed the need for the immediate resumption of negotiations, is confident the American Co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group Richard Hoagland.

ArmInfo. The hostilities on the line of contact in April 2016 resulted in many casualties and demonstrated that there can be no military solution to the conflict, James Warlick, US Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, told Trend on December 14. 

ArmInfo.There is no military solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, US Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs  Bridget Brink told reporters in Baku on November 22.   APA quotes Bridget Brink as saying, "The US remains committed to  working with the sides [of the conflict] to mediate a comprehensive  settlement."   "We appreciate Ambassador James Warlick's service as OSCE Minsk Group  US co-chair," she added commenting on Warlick's resignation.  

ArmInfo. US Co-Chair of OSCE Minsk Group James Warlick will finish his mission in the Group on December 31.

ArmInfo. Germany has not  changed its stand on the Karabakh conflict settlement, Germany's  Ambassador to Armenia Matthias Kiesler told reporters, when asked by  ArmInfo to comment on the escalation in the conflict zone and its  impact on the possible meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani  foreign ministers on the sidelines of the OSCE Ministerial Council's  meeting in Hamburg.    

ArmInfo. Over the past few years US Secretary of State John Kerry has been concerned over the Karabakh peace process, Ambassador James Warlick, US Co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, said in Yerevan on October 25, when commenting on Kerry's statement about impossibility to settle the Karabakh conflict today. 

ArmInfo.  Situation in the  Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone is relatively peaceful after the April  events, says OSCE MG Co-Chair, Ambassador James Warlick of the United  States. 

ArmInfo.The USA is committed to peaceful settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, US Co-Chair James Warlick stated at the press conference in Baku on October 22. 

ArmInfo. In the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process, the talks to strengthen the ceasefire and implement the arrangements made in Vienna and St. Petersburg are prioritized unlike the talks on the comprehensive settlement of the  conflict. Acting Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan told a  news conference on September 15 when commenting on any progress in  the NK peace process. In his words, it is hard to speak of any  progress until the given arrangements are implemented. 

ArmInfo. A status cannot guarantee the security of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, NKR President's Spokesperson David Babayan told ArmInfo when commenting on the latest statement by OSCE MG U.S. Co-Chair James Warlick saying the Karabakh conflict's settlement implies the return of part of the territories around Artsakh in exchange for its status. 

ArmInfo. Meeting of OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Karabakh settlement was very productive, US Co-Chair of OSCE Minsk Group James Warlick said in an interview to Interfax. According to him, there are certain terms of the settlement but Armenia and  Azerbaijan's Presidents lack political will to achieve progress. We  have discussed these terms with Lavrov as well as the ways of working  with the sides for reaching peaceful settlement of the conflict, he  noted, adding that the USA, Russia and France are on the same page on  the issue.
