Recently, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu urged the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs to support the position of Azerbaijan. He had informed that the Co-Chairs are going to visit Ankara. It was expected that on July 18, the co-chairs are going to arrive in Ankara but this visit was postponed after the military coup attempt in Turkey. “Aravot” referred a question to the OSCE Minsk Group US Co-Chair James Warlick about the motives of the MG Co-Chairs to discuss the Karabakh issue with official Ankara at this phase.

“The Minsk Group Co-Chairs have visited the capital of each Minsk Group member to hold consultations on the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process. In the past year and a half, we have been to every Minsk Group capital except Ankara and are now exploring dates to travel there. We value the opportunity to exchange views with Turkish officials and to enlist their support for our efforts to advance substantive talks on a settlement and implement measures to reduce the risk of violence”, – said the US co-chair in an exclusive interview with “Aravot”.
