Karabakh Conflict - "Outdated" Problem Arousing Concern of Many People Throughout Globe

PanARMENIAN.Net - "The Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents voiced a request to keep the confidentiality of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement process," Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk stated when commenting on the progress achieved. "However I would not be mistaken to say that very serious approach is being observed. The frequency of the meetings was rather high. The Co-Chairs are active as well. I suppose the Azerbaijani leadership has focused attention at some other issues during the election campaign. However I do not think the negotiation process has slowed down. The OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs will meet in Washington October 24-25. December 5-6 the meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian Foreign Ministers will take place in Ljubljana," he noted.



In his words, the Nagorno Karabakh problem is an "outdated conflict" and arouses serious concern of many people throughout the globe. "Many people and organizations are interested in the soonest settlement of the conflict. Armenia and Azerbaijan engaged to settle the conflict peacefully at the entry to the Council of Europe. The UN also shows interest in the matter, However the OSCE Minsk Group possesses the mandate for the conflict settlement. As for the initiatives of the other international organizations including the International Crises Group, their attempts may have some positive impact", he resumed, Trend Azeri news agency reported.
