The US co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group, Steven Mann, arrived in
Baku a few minutes ago. Mann will participate in a meeting between
Azerbaijan's political leadership and the Minsk Group co-chairs on the
Karabakh settlement. The Russian and French co-chairs are expected to
come to Baku tomorrow.
The report we received a while ago says that Mann has given an
interview to reporters at Heydar Aliyev international airport. He said
the co-chairs were coming to the region with very serious proposals.
The US diplomat did not elaborate on details of the proposals, but
said they would be submitted to the presidents.
The most interesting thing here is that the heads of state should
demonstrate political will while adopting these proposals. We have
come up with proposals, but their adoption will depend on the
presidents and their political will, end quote.
Mann said he was against comparing the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict with
that in Kosovo. He said every conflict had its own peculiarities.
The co-chairman reiterated that Armenia's occupation of the
Azerbaijani territories was a fact. However, he said it is possible to
reach an agreement that satisfies both sides.
