The OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Greek Prime Minister and Foreign Minister George Papandreou underscored the importance of talks on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group, which is co-chaired by France, the Russian Federation and the United States.

"The Co-Chairs of the Minsk Group have worked tirelessly to support the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan as they approach the time to take difficult decisions aimed at resolving their differences. Here in Athens, we must leave no doubt that this process enjoys the solid support of the entire OSCE community," said Papandreou.
