OSCE 'supports' territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and does not recognize independence of Nagorno-Karabakh

The OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Secretary of State and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan Kanat Saudabayev, in response to a question from a news agency, stated the following today on the “parliamentary election” in Nagorno-Karabakh.

“The ‘parliamentary election’ in Nagorno-Karabakh should in no way influence the outcome of the process of the conflict resolution.

Since the OSCE supports the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and does not recognize the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh, the holding of a ‘parliamentary election’ has no bearing or influence on the process of the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement.

I reiterate support for the efforts of the Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group on the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and will continue to assist in every way possible the political talks between all the parties within the Minsk process.”
