Expert: OSCE Minsk Group Office should be opened in Nagorno Karabakh

Armenian authorities should give a proper, weighted and adequate response to Azerbaijan's actions, Karen Bekaryan, Head of the European Integration public organization, told media in Yerevan, Thursday. He said that Armenia can make a tough open statement or toughen its diplomatic stance or combine the both approaches.     

As for the upcoming meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani foreign ministers with the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs in Paris on October 27, the expert said that the Armenian party should raise the issue of strict guarantees of security for NKR and Armenia. Bekaryan said that at the upcoming meeting the two parties should analyze where they have stopped and in what direction should move. Bekaryan thinks that the two ministers may agree to organize a meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents. He said that Armenia should spotlight the situation after extradition of Ramil Safarov, and raise the issue of immediate withdrawal of snipers from the line of contact, setting up a group to investigate into the incidents on the line of contact and insist on opening of an OSCE MG office in the territory of NKR to keep the situation in the region under control.
