"We have read the resolution and would welcome the opportunity to consult with the rapporteur and interested members of PACE on the current approach to Nagorno-Karabakh negotiations. We are available to work with any organizations to help find a way forward on a lasting settlement. It is also important to keep in mind that the Minsk Group format is accepted by the sides, and the Co-Chairs will continue our mediation efforts on a settlement based on the principles of territorial integrity, self-determination, and the non-use of force," News.am reports.
