Minsk Group Russian co-chair: Withdrawal of snipers from front line to contribute to security at contact line in Karabakh conflict zone

Russian co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group Yuri Merzlyakov said.

Co-chairs said at a news conference in Yerevan that the parties to the conflict have not yet reached agreement to withdraw snipers.

French co-chair Bernard Fassier said if general climate of talks improves, the co-chairs may achieve consent to withdraw snipers.

“This is very wise proposal which can save many lives,” he said.
