OSCE Minsk Group ceased its activities, says Russian FM

The OSCE Minsk Group has stopped its activities, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a joint press conference with his Azerbaijani counterpart Jeyhun Bayramov.

"We did not discuss the Minsk Group as such, because it ceased its activities on the initiative of the US and France. But of course, we discussed the process of post-conflict settlement. And the basis for this process lies in the three tripartite statements of the leaders of Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia," Lavrov added.
