Azerbaijan requires James Warlick’s dismissal from Minsk Group
The statement of U.S. Co-Chairman James Warlick in Twitter that Karabakh conflict is a conflict “between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan”, not between Armenia and Azerbaijan has caused a real hysteria in Azerbaijan.
Former government adviser on foreign affairs of Azerbaijan, political scientist Vafa Guladze in an interview with Azerbaijani news portal Aktual.az said that it is necessary to “kick out” James Warlick from the OSCE Minsk Group. Azerbaijan is not pleased with the fact that the American side got convinced that for the resolution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict the participation of official Stepanakert is necessary.
In an interview with Azerbaijani portal Virtualaz.org Guladze referred to Warlick’s statement as “a message of not a very professional diplomat”. The portal called U.S. Co-Chairman frivolous and silly and expressed its dissatisfaction with the fact that Washington has appointed such a “frivolous person who writes on social network everything that crosses his mind” as a Co-Chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group.
