France and U.S. refuse to co-op with Russia in OSCE MG on Karabakh

France and the Unites States refused to cooperate with Russia on Azerbaijan’s Karabakh within the OSCE Minsk Group format, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.

"I don’t know what will be the further fate of the activities or the future of OSCE Minsk Group’s co-chairs, because our French and American partners in this group said they will not be communicating with us within this format," Lavrov said.

He noted that Russia is ready to promote peace talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan. "Russia is ready to promote the ongoing work between Yerevan and Baku to create conditions for signing a peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan. We spoke substantively about how we can help our neighbors to launch this process," the diplomat said.
