The Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has stated that he has not invited the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs Stefan Visconti (France) and Andrew Chaffer (USA) to Baku. This was reported by RIA Novosti.
"It was your idea to come here. I can say this one more time in front of the cameras. I did not invite the Minsk Group to visit, but when I was informed that the Minsk Group Co-Chairs wanted to come, I did not mind. Maybe they have something to tell me. If you want to say it in front of the cameras, say so. If not, please go. I hear you", Aliyev said.
To remind - The OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs arrived in Baku on December 12 within the framework of a regional visit. They were received by Aliyev. The OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs Stefan Visconti (France), Andrew Chaffer (USA), and the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk will arrive in Yerevan on December 13.
