/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The statement submitted by the OSCE Minsk Group
Co-chairs in Vienna June 22 to the OSCE Permanent Council is a very
important document, International Crisis Group Caucasus project
director Sabine Freizer said. In her words, the statement maintains
a common approach to the conflict settlement. "It appears to be the
most sincere and self-critical statement made by the mediators so far,
as for the first time since the beginning of the talks in 1994 they
have declared of inanity of their activities," Freizer said.
She said she is surprised that Armenia and Azerbaijan hold little talk
about it. "As a matter of fact the OSCE Minsk Group's statement proves
the absence of any international format of the talks. It turns out that
the sides can proceed with the talks without mediators. Will another
mediator be appointed? If the United States, Russia and France recede
which international forces possess sufficient authority for performing
the mediating mission" I do not believe in a new mediator. We gradually
enter a horrific stage where there is no place for peaceful talks
between the sides. Such situation has occurred for the first time
since 1994," Freizer underscored, reported Azeri-Press.
