No military solution to Karabakh conflict - OSCE chairman-in-office
YEREVAN June 13
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) thinks
there is no military solution to the Karabakh conflict and rejects the
use of force and the threats to use force, OSCE Chairman-in-Office,
Irish Foreign Minister Eamon Gilmore told Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan on Tuesday.
Gilmore expressed concern over the latest incidents along the
Armenian-Azerbaijani border, in which servicemen died on both sides.
The OSCE supports efforts towards the prevention of such incidents and
the elaboration of mechanisms of their investigation, he said. The
organization supports the right of nations to self-determination,
territorial integrity and non-use of force, as well as the work of the
OSCE Minsk Group assisting the Karabakh peace process, he said.
The Armenian president thanked Gilmore and the OSCE mission in Armenia
for their constant assistance and effective cooperation with the
republic. The Armenian visit of the OSCE chairman-in-office is a good
opportunity to familiarize with the regional situation and challenges,
Sargsyan said.
In turn, Armenian Parliament Speaker Ovik Abramian told Gilmore that
the OSCE played a big role in the development of democratic
institutions in Armenia and called for further interaction.
He also thanked the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly and the ODIHR for
sending an observation mission to the latest parliamentary election in
Armenia. "The Armenian authorities did their best to hold democratic,
free and transparent elections on May 6," Abramian said.
