    OSCE MG co-chairs in Baku

    Baku, July 11, AssA-Irada
    The OSCE Minsk Group (MG) co-chairs Bernard Fassier of France, Steven
    Mann of the USA and Yuri Merzlyakov of Russia arrived in Baku on
    Monday for a two-day visit.
    The co-chairs met with Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov and head of
    the Azerbaijani community of Garabagh Nizami Bahmanov.
    Bahmanov has told journalists that views were exchanged on some
    details, including ensuring security of key roads, during the meeting
    that lasted 80 minutes.
    Bahmanov did not rule out that OSCE peacekeeping forces will be
    involved in guarding the strategic Lachin corridor. The return of
    residents of Lachin and Shusha districts home was discussed as well,
    he said.
    `It was decided that the Upper Garabagh conflict be settled stage by
    stage. Armenian armed forces must be withdrawn from the occupied
    regions of Azerbaijan and the people returned to their homes.'
    The MG co-chairs will visit Yerevan on Wednesday and then Upper
    Garabagh.*
