Azerbaijan, Baku, 30 March / Trend corr. S.Ilhamgii / Bahar Muradova, the Vice-Speaker of Azerbaijan, does not agree with the demand of the public-political organizations to dissolve OSCE Minsk Group.
"I consider most appropriable the official position of Azerbaijani State in this issue," Muradova said to journalists.
The project of Resolution on Situation in Occupied Territories of Azerbaijan adopted during the 62nd session of UN General Assembly on 14 March. The representatives of three countries-co-chairs of OSCE Minsk Group, the United States, Russian and France, being mediators between Armenia and Azerbaijan voted against the resolution for peaceful settlement of the conflict. The public and most political structures of Azerbaijan started the campaign to refuse from mediation of co-chairs and dissolve of Minsk group.
Vice Speaker stated she considered appropriable adoption of the resolution submitted by Azerbaijan. As Azerbaijan could not reach such results several years before.
"Different countries have different political and economic approach to such issue. We cannot force them to make such step in favor of Azerbaijan. However, countries with broader possibilities affected on other countries to vote against the resolution. We take this fact with great regret," the Vice Speaker said.
Muradova noted that the Azerbaijani States submitted an appeal to OSCE Secretariat to dissolve Minsk Group or to change its composition. Muradova believes that the protests of the Azerbaijani population against the positions of OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs should be taken normally. "Public cannot receive the expected results from Minsk Group for a long time. In any case it is necessary to support the official position of the state to continue the mediation by OSCE Minsk Group in the peace processes," Vice Speaker said.
