U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated that the OSCE must renew efforts for resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

“Speaking on behalf of the Co-chairs of the Minsk Group, I repeat that peace should base on the Helsinki principles as well as on the six provisions worked out by Presidents Medvedev, Sarkozy and Obama,” she said when addressing the OSCE summit which kicked off in Kazakh capital of Astana on December 1.

She also stressed that the OSCE must have a stronger role in preventing new conflicts and seeking peaceful solutions to the existing ones.

"There is no other regional organization as well positioned to address the protracted conflicts in the OSCE area," Clinton said.
