Dissolving Minsk Group is a vital step supporting Azerbaijan-Armenia peace process, Valtonen

The decision to dissolve the OSCE Minsk Group is a vital step supporting the Azerbaijan-Armenia peace process, Finland’s Foreign Minister and the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Elina Valtonen said at the 32nd meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers.

“I witnessed positive progress in the peace process between Azerbaijan and Armenia. In August, we made a decision to dissolve the OSCE Minsk Group and its associated institutions. This was a vital step in supporting the peace process and removing a major obstacle to the adoption of the OSCE budget,” Elina Valtonen noted.
