In 2006 the parties to the Karabakh conflict have approached the
settlement of the issue on the basis of fundamental principles. OSCE
Chairman-in-Office, Belgian Foreign Minister Karel de Gucht said in
an exclusive interview with " Armenpress." "The latest fundamental
principles are reasonable and are a good basis for further progress. I
do believe in the opportunity of coming to an agreement," he noted.
Under the authority of Karel de Gucht, positive progress was registered
last year. Particularly, the perspectives of the Karabakh issue
are much better than a year ago. The negotiations in 2006 brought
the parties closer to reaching an agreement based on fundamental
principles. He expressed hoe that next year the two Presidents will
double their efforts to synthesize the basic principles as soon
as possible.
Karel de Gucht considered the efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group extremely
valuable, particularly their activity in the direction of elaborating
a document of "fundamental principles."
Let us remind that starting January 1, 2007 Spain will assume OSCE
Chairmanship.
