The Ambassador did not reveal the exact date for the appointment of the new co-chair: “Though I can not reveal the exact date of the appointment of the new co-chair, I can say that work is being done in Washington. As the term of office of OSCE Minsk Group co-chair Robert Bradtke expired, Ian Kelly was appointed to the position on an interim basis. I have known him for a long time. Ian Kelly will hold this position until the new co-chair is appointed.”
