Armenian President meets with diplomats from Minsk Group co-Chair countries

Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan on Friday (9 February) met with Ambassadors Igor Popov of the Russian Federation, Stéphane Visconti of France, and Andrew Schofer of the United States of America, who co-chair the OSCE Minsk Process on Karabakh, as well as thePersonal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk.

The press service of the Armenian president said that the diplomats presented to President Sargsyan the results of their meetings in Baku earlier this week.

According to the source, President Sargsyan called the diplomat's attention to the recent statements made in Baku, "noting that they evidence once again that Azerbaijan is still too far from showing readiness to promote the negotiation process on the basis of the proposals made by the Minsk Group Co-Chairs, as well as demonstrate Baku's response to the Co-Chairs' continued calls to prepare societies for peace."

It is understood that the diplomats will also visit Nagorno-Karabakh.

Israel aims to bury idea of Palestinian state by announcing new West Bank settlement

Israel’s far-right finance minister announced approval of contentious new settlement construction in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Thursday 14 August, which Palestinians and rights groups worry will scuttle plans for a future Palestinian state by effectively cutting the West Bank into two separate parts. The announcement, reported by international agencies, comes as many countries, including Australia, the United Kingdom, France and Canada, said they would recognise a Palestinian state in September. “This reality finally buries the idea of a Palestinian state, because there is nothing to recognise and no one to recognise,” said Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich during a ceremony on Thursday.
