OSCE CiO: situation with Karabakh conflict settlement satisfactory

One of the priorities of the Spanish Chairmanship is our firm desire of cooperation in order to find a solution to the protracted conflicts in the OSCE area. We are conscious that the sides directly involved should be the protagonists of the process, said OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos. “I am at their entire disposal in order to help facilitate their task and that of the mediators in their effort to find a peaceful and satisfactory solution. The co-chairs briefed us extensively about their contacts with the authorities of the parties and their ideas in order to cooperate in finding the best solution,” he said.

When commenting on the current stage of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement Mr Moratinos said, “After the foresaid meeting with the co-chairs of the Minsk Group and the one I had with the Personal Representative of the Chair, I am reasonably satisfied when considering the efforts made by the leaders of both countries in order to find a negotiated solution, acceptable to all parties involved,” reports the APA.
