    Eamon Gilmore, Vice Premier and Foreign Minister of Ireland
    and OSCE Chairman, is on a visit to Azerbaijan. He said that the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is an essential topic, especially in the
    light of the recent escalation. The Irish official called it a priority
    of OSCE chairmanship, Trend reports.

    Prevention and investigation of incidents on the Azerbaijani-Armenian
    line of conflict, withdrawal of snipers would contribute to resolving
    the problem, Gilmore says. Strengthening trust is the only way to
    achieve sustainable settlement of the conflict. Cultural sites and
    cemeteries need additional security measures.

    Gilmore said that the OSCE cooperates with various institutions
    of Baku. Azerbaijan needs further democratic development basing on
    principles approved by OSCE members in Astana two years ago.

    Foreign ministers of 56 OSCE states decided in Vilnius that the
    organization had good potential to prevent transnational threats.

    Besides a military and political solution to conflict, the organization
    considers the human rights, economic and ecological factors.

    The OSCE formed a new section, basing on resources of law, border
    control and fight against terrorism. The new section will prevent
    transnational threats. Ireland will stress on police, narcotics and
    terrorism as the main topics.

    Gilmore met Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan today. The sides
    discussed reforms, domestic policy, Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,
    incidents on the Armenian-Azerbaijani line of contact.

    Gilmore emphasized that achieving peace requires following of
    principles. The OSCE denies use of force or threats to resolve the
    conflict, he concludes.
