OSCE chairman-in-office to arrive in Yerevan for talks on Karabakh
By Tigran Liloyan
YEREVAN
OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Bulgarian Foreign Minister Solomon Passy
will arrive in Yerevan on a two-day official visit for talks on the
settlement of the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh and OSCE-Armenia
relations, sources in the Armenian Foreign Ministry press and
information department told Itar-Tass on Wednesday.
The OSCE chairman-in-office will meet Armenian President Robert
Kocharyan and Nagorno-Karabakh leader Arkady Gukasyan, the sources
said.
In 1992 it was decided to convene a session of the Minsk Conference
for Nagorno-Karabakh under the OSCE aegis, but its resolutions were
not implemented. In June 1992 the participants in the Minsk
Conference set up the OSCE Minsk Group for Nagorno-Karabakh that
became a consultative body. The Minsk Group co-chaired by Russia,
France and the U.S. is working on a draft peace agreement that will
determine Nagorno-Karabakh's juridical status. Over the last years
the Minsk Group failed to yield certain results and bring the warring
sides' positions closer.
