    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The OSCE needs to focus on the issues where it
    can make a real difference, including solving the region's frozen
    conflicts, the OSCE Chairman-in-Office, newly appointed Finnish
    Foreign Minister Alexander Stubb, told the Organization's Permanent
    Council today.

    "We must seriously look for solutions to the so-called frozen
    conflicts. My aim is to re-energize efforts towards peaceful
    settlement of these conflicts," said the Chairman-in-Office. "I
    sincerely hope that the efforts of the Finnish Chairmanship are met
    with constructive engagement by all parties. I continue to support
    the existing negotiation mechanisms, including the OSCE Minsk Group
    and its Co-Chairs."

    The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, which is working to find a
    solution for the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, are France, Russia and
    the United States.

    Stubb, who was appointed as Foreign Minister of Finland on 4 April,
    also expressed concern over recent incidents in Nagorno Karabakh and
    South Ossetia and appealed to all parties to refrain from violence.

    The Chairman emphasized the work of the OSCE in Kosovo, and the
    value of its continued involvement there. He also highlighted the
    Organization's initiatives in Central Asia, and the OSCE's decision
    to enhance its engagement with Afghanistan, the OSCE communication
    unit reports.
