“We didn’t say that Nagorno Karabakh would participate in the negotiation process as a third part”, OSCE Minsk Group French co-chair Bernard Fassier said, APA reports.
The French diplomat said they announced that people lived in Nagorno Karabakh before the conflict would participate in certain phase of the negotiations. “We have in view the people – both Azerbaijanis and Armenians – lived there before the conflict. We didn’t mean the “Nagorno Karabakh part”. We talked about the people lived there before the conflict. Those people – both Azerbaijanis and Armenians – will participate in the negotiations, but it is not clear yet when it will take place. The format of their participation in the negotiations was not determined yet”.
