OSCE Secretary General Lamberto Zannier has urged Armenia
and Azerbaijan to withdraw snipers from the contact line at
Nagorno-Karabakh today. At a press conference with Armenian Foreign
Minister Edward Nalbandian, he noted that this idea is the main
message to Yerevan and Baku, RIA Novosti reports.
Nalbandian emphasized that there is no alternative to peaceful
negotiations to settle the situation. He reminded that the joint
statement of president of OSCE MG at Los Cabos rules use out the of
force, while Azerbaijan continues purchasing weapons.
Zannier arrived in Armenia on Wednesday. He will meet Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan, Speaker of Parliament Ovik Abramyan,
political parties and the public. He has already visited Georgia
and Azerbaijan.
Zannier said at a meeting with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar
Mammadyarov in Baku on May 9 that the status quo of the conflict is
unacceptable. The OSCE recommends a more active monitoring mission
in Nagorno-Karabakh instead.
Mammadyarov insists that ending Armenian occupation of Azerbaijani
lands should be the key solution, instead of improving monitoring
mechanisms. No progress in settling the conflict has been made in
the last 20 years, the foreign minister notes.
