06 March 2006 [19:34] - TODAY.AZ
Azerbaijan's attempts to extend the settlement in the conflict surrounding the breakaway region of Nagorny Karabakh beyond the current framework pose a potential threat to Armenia, the Armenian defense minister said Monday.

"These attempts are accompanied by a disinformation campaign conducted by Azerbaijan's propaganda machine, which Baku uses to score points with international organizations unfamiliar with the conflict," Serge Sargsyan, who is also secretary of the Armenian president's National Security Council, said in his report on the country's security strategy published on the defense ministry's website.

The Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe's Minsk Group was set up in 1992 to facilitate peace talks between Azerbaijan and Armenia. It is co-chaired by Russia, France, and the U.S. and has representation from Turkey, the U.S., several European nations, Armenia, and Azerbaijan, RIA Novosti informs.
