said he fact that he arrived in the region to meet with the Armenian
and Azerbaijani Presidents a week after the Prague summit shows there
are many issues on the table that need to be resolved.
Fassier said each round of talks must not be viewed separately. "When
you look after one photo, you do not get any impression of
movement. One needs to see a film to get full view of the movement,"
the French mediator said.
"If people meet so frequently, they have something to say to each
other. We are hopeful for a constructive solution," Fassier said.
He said the meeting in Prague was not failure as some observers
say. "If it were failure, I would not be here after several days to
continue talks. Maybe we do not have breakthrough, but we have made
some advance," Fassier said. "The co-chairs have outlined some items
together with presidents. Once they are fulfilled, the work on next
items of the Madrid document can begin."
Fassier also said his visit to Turkey is planned by the OSCE Minks
Group and is not directly linked with the resolution of the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict, Trend Azeri news agency reported.
