Greminger expects new dynamics in NK process from upcoming meeting of Armenian, Azerbaijani FMs

YEREVAN, OCTOBER 31, ARMENPRESS. OSCE welcomes the efforts of Yerevan and Baku to ensure stable security situation in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict zone, OSCE Secretary General Thomas Gremingersaid at a joint press conference with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Moscow.

“The dynamics of the negotiation process has slowed down a little bit, but we hope that the upcoming meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani foreign ministers in Bratislava on the sidelines of the OSCE ministerial meeting [December 5-6] will give a new impetus to the process”, he said.

The OSCE Secretary General said the actions directed for ensuring stable security are very important because the loss of human life in the conflicting sides is impermissible, and the protection of the human life is the duty of both the civilian and military structures.

In his turn the Russian FM highlighted the expected meeting in Bratislava as an opportunity to ensure a positive environment between the NK conflicting sides. “The OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmanship’s efforts are important for making closer the approaches and reaching a compromise”, the Russian FM said.
