OSCE Minsk Group ceased activities: Russia’s Lavrov

Three statements signed by the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia

The OSCE Minsk Group has ceased its activities on the US and France’s initiative, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Friday.

Lavrov made the remarks while speaking at a joint press conference with his Azerbaijani counterpart Jeyhun Bayramov in Baku, a correspondent of Qazet.az reports.

He noted that three statements signed by the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia, are now broadly acknowledged as the basis for a way forward to tackle the remaining issues.

Lavrov also pledged Moscow’s continued efforts to ensure peace in the South Caucasus and help delimit the Azerbaijan-Armenia state border.
