    OSCE says Nagorno-Karabakh to be resolved within a year Brussels,
    Dec 5, IRNA Belgium-OSCE-Nagorno-Karabakh Belgian Foreign Minister
    Karel De Gucht who currently chairs the Organisation for Security
    and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) said Monday that a solution to the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is "in reach within one year."

    "We have made really substantial progress if not a breakthrough with
    respect to Nagorno-Karabakh," de Gucht told a press conference in
    Brussels Monday night following the end of the first day of the 2-day
    OSCE ministerial meeting.

    The Belgian foreign minister said he has held several meetings with
    the Presidents of both Azerbaijan and Armenia.

    "The trust between the two countries has grown considerably," he noted.

    On other "frozen conflicts" in former Soviet states such as Abkhazia
    and South Ossetia regions in Georgia, in Moldova , de Gucth said no
    text was possible because of Russian opposition.

    "There is a clear refusal on the Russian side even to discuss it.

    No text possible," he said.

    Foreign ministers from the 56 OSCE member states are holding their
    annual Ministerial Council in Brussels on Monday and Tuesday.

    The OSCE is a western security organisation founded in 1973, which
    is concerned with conflict prevention, election observing and the
    rehabilitation of post-conflict areas.
