Statement of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs

 

The OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs  (Ambassadors Robert Bradtke of the United States, Igor Popov of the Russian  Federation, and Jacques Faure of France) have noted reports about the conduct  of "elections" that took place in Nagorno-Karabakh on July 19, 2012. 

    The Co-Chairs acknowledge the need for the de facto authorities in NK to try  to organize democratically the public life of their population with such a  procedure. However, the Co-Chairs note that none of their three countries,  nor any other country, recognizes Nagorno-Karabakh as an independent and  sovereign state.

    The Co-Chairs stress that the procedures of July 19 in no way prejudge the   final legal status of Nagorno-Karabakh or the outcome of the ongoing  negotiations to bring a lasting and peaceful settlement to the  Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. -02D-
