OSCE MG Has Extra Ideas on Karabakh Settlement
The OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs have extra ideas on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement but over the confidentiality of the negotiation process they cannot be divulged, said OSCE MG Russian Co-chair Yuri Merzlyakov on arrival in Baku November 22. The diplomat also informed that U.S. Co-chair Matthew Bryza will meet with Nagorno Karabakh President Arkady Ghukasian in Los Angeles and over this reason he did not join the mediators in the regional visit. At the same time he voiced hope that all 3 Co-chairs will be present at the meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani President in Minsk November 28.

French mediator Bernard Fassier said that the negotiation process is going on. "We met with the Foreign Ministers three times within several weeks. We are trying to build a wall in order to create a basis for the future agreement. Each time we add a brick," he underscored, reports Trend news agency.
