"Since receiving the joint Appeal from Armenia and Azerbaijan on11 August, the 2025 OSCE Chair-in-Office, Finland, is leading discussions with participating States to close the Minsk Process and related structures," press service of the OSCE said in a response to APA's query.
"This requires a Ministerial Council decision, passed by consensus from all 57 participating States.
Following a Special Permanent Council Meeting held on 25 August, a draft Ministerial Council decision to close the Minsk Process and related structures was submitted to the participating States for approval by 1 September through a silent procedure. This procedure enables the adoption of the decision on that date, provided no participating State raises an objection.
The Secretariat stands ready to implement any relevant outcomes to these discussions," noted the press service.
