Regnum, Moscow

A report by the special representative of the OSCE Parliamentary
Assembly on Nagornyy Karabakh, Goran Lennmarker, says that Nagornyy
Karabakh should be annexed to Armenia and this may become the main
pledge of security [for Karabakh Armenians] and resolve many related
issues, the Armenian deputy speaker and head of the Armenian
delegation to the OSCE, Vaan Ovannesyan, told Regnum in Washington
after the completion of the 14th session of the OSCE Parliamentary
Assembly.
The report also says that Azerbaijan must have direct negotiations
with the authorities in Nagornyy Karabakh, Ovannesyan
said. Characterizing the report as ground-breaking and balanced,
Ovannesyan said that the resolution on Nagornyy Karabakh on the basis
of Lennmarker's report was not approved. "The document was taken into
consideration and work is under way. It is possible that a neutral
resolution will be adopted in future," he noted.
He also noted that Lennmarker is very likely to continue working as
special representative of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly on Nagornyy
Karabakh. But this will become known this autumn.
