Azerbaijan names possible date for decision on abolition of OSCE MG

ArmInfo. It is expected that a decision to abolish the OSCE Minsk Group will be made on September 1. The appeal to abolish the OSCE Minsk Group and its related structures has been distributed among OSCE countries.

Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov made this statement during a special  meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers dedicated to President Ilham  Aliyev's visit to Washington. "In general, the initialing of the  peace agreement in the United States rather than signing it   demonstrates the consistency of Azerbaijan's position," he noted.  Bayramov also boasted that, thanks to Baku's efforts, the OSCE Minsk  Group was removed from the process of resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh  conflict.

The Azerbaijani official also noted that until the end of January  this year, Armenia did not agree with several provisions of the peace  agreement.

"Armenia, in particular, did not agree to the terms related to  withdrawing claims from the courts and preventing the deployment of  third forces on the border. The joint declaration signed by the  leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia in the presence of Donald Trump  during his visit to the United States reaffirms Azerbaijan's peace  agenda," the Foreign Minister noted.
