OSCE will closely watch developments in South Caucasus

PanARMENIAN.Net - Resolution of so-called frozen conflicts in Caucasus is a priority for the OSCE, said Alexander Stubb, the OSCE Chairman-in-Office.



"I believe that the OSCE must be engaged in settlement of conflicts," he said in his address to the PACE PA 17th session.



"Nagorno Karabakh is one of these conflicts. We have a special representative there, what proves how seriously we approach the issue," Mr Stubb said.



He also mentioned that some progress is observed in relations between Transnistria and Moldova.



"But, speaking frankly, we failed to fix any progress in the South Caucasus and I am concerned over the situation in Abkhazia and South Ossetia," Mr Stubb said.



"We will closely watch developments in the region," he said, calling upon the conflicting countries for restraint, Trend Azeri news agency reports.
