State Department: OSCE MG mediator from Russia didn't accept invitation to discuss Karabakh
The US State Department's Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs said the Russian co-chair did not accept an invitation to discuss the future of Nagorno-Karabakh.
The US Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group spoke with his colleagues today to discuss the future of Nagorno-Karabakh. Unfortunately, the Russian co-chair did not accept the invitation. We look forward to continuing the work of the Minsk Group, the message says.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, at a joint press conference with his Azerbaijani counterpart on June 24, said that the OSCE Minsk Group ceased its activities on the initiative of the American and French sides.
In turn, Jeyhun Bayramov summed up Lavrov’s words, saying that starting from February 2022, due to well-known reasons, the format of interaction between the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group was completely paralyzed.
