Political scientist Rauf Rajabov: "OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs have ceased to be mediators in the issue of the peaceful resolution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict"

The due announcement was made by Rauf Rajabov, editor-in-chief of the "Third outlook" news agency, speaking at today's international conference "Caucasus-2007" in Yerevan.

He said serious internal differences are observed among the co-chairs, which prevent them from being unbiased till the end. "Moreover, I do not understand, how one can trust to speaker of Russia's State Duma Boris Gryzlov, who visiting Baku assures Azerbaijan of friendship and at the same time holds a conference on the so-called Lezguin problem in Moscow", says the Azerbaijani political scientist.

He noted that "a direct dialogue between Yerevan and Baku with participation of the Armenian and Azerbaijani communities of Nagorno Karabakh" is needed for the resolution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
