The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group do not give a correct assessment of the situation along the border with Azerbaijan, particularly to the ceasefire violations by Azeri forces and its consequences, says Giro Manoyan, Director of the ARF bureau's Hay Dat and political affairs office. 

“With their allegedly balanced position, in actuality, the Co-Chairs to some extent encourage Azerbaijan and its destructive policy,” Manoyan told reporters in Yerevan.

According to the ARFD figure, the mediators should ensure Karabakh’s full participation in the talks as a means of constraining Azerbaijan.

Manoyan stressed that if Azerbaijan goes on like this and continues to violate the ceasefire, the Armenian authorities should reject meeting Azeri officials [he means meetings of Armenian and Azeri Foreign Ministers] in order to show the international community that Azerbaijan’s destructive policy is unacceptable.
