'Interim decision' on Karabakh found?
Yerevan and Baku have a golden opportunity to resolve the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, according to OSCE President.

"We have been working to find a solution to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict for several years. There is an interim decision which will have a positive impact on the Armenian-Azerbaijani relations. The sides have a golden opportunity to resolve the conflict," Mr Goran Lennmarker said in his address to 17th session of the OSCE PA in Astana, Interfax reports.

Meanwhile, he mentioned, the Karabakh issue will not be discussed. "The agenda includes issues referring to Georgia," he said. "OSCE member states support Georgia's territorial integrity. Abkhazia is a part of Georgia and a peaceful solution should be found in this vein."

It's the first-ever OSCE PA session held in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, which will assume presidency in the OSCE in 2010.
