"They made an important contribution to the development of basic principles for the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, many of which were reflected in the statement of November 9, 2020," Rudenko noted.
According to him, the task of achieving a comprehensive political settlement, which, in accordance with the decisions of the OSCE Budapest summit (1994), was entrusted to the Minsk Group co-chairs, remains in demand.
"The Minsk Group has strong international support and can be helpful in developing mutually acceptable approaches to further steps, but carefully, slowly when the proper time comes,” the deputy minister further said.
"Now the OSCE Minsk Group, its co-chairs could be active in strengthening trust-building measures between Armenians and Azerbaijanis. Development of dialogue within the framework of civil society would contribute to the overall improvement of the situation in the region and create preconditions for further steps on the political track," concluded Rudenko.
