The OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Audronius
Ažubalis, stressed the importance to continue the efforts towards
reaching a comprehensive peace settlement on Nagorno-Karabakh,
while commenting on the meeting in Kazan of Russian President Dmitry
Medvedev, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan and Azerbaijani President
Ilham Aliyev.
"I welcome the efforts in reaching common understanding on a number of
issues whose resolution will help create the conditions for approval of
the Basic Principles. I hope the work to address the outstanding issues
will be continued, to pave the way towards resolving the conflict,"
Ažubalis said.
"The OSCE stands ready to support and complement, including via my
Personal Representative on the conflict, any efforts made at the
tripartite level and under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group
Co-Chairs, to put an end to confrontation and instability in the
South Caucasus."
Ažubalis emphasized the need for strengthening the ceasefire regime
and for further confidence-building measures with involvement of the
civil society as discussed during his meetings with the leaders of
Azerbaijan and Armenia in March. "I encourage the leaders to follow
through on the agreements made in the previous tripartite meetings in
Astrakhan in October 2010 and in Sochi in March this year, including
to investigate possible incidents on the Line of Contact and refrain
from the threat or use of force," he said.
