- Chairperson-in-Office of the Organisation for Security and
Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), Ukrainian Foreign Minister Leonid
Kozhara plans to visit Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia in an effort to
find ways to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. He made this
statement to journalists at the UN headquarters on Tuesday.
"I plan to visit Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan... The sides for
years cannot set down at the negotiating table and work out the ways
to settle the conflict. We want to give an impetus to the negotiating
process and we feel that there is good dynamics in this matter," the
minister said. He did not specify the timeframe of the visit.
According to him, the EU Eastern Partnership Program within the
framework of which "the delegations of Armenia and Azerbaijan talk to
each other" makes a significant contribution to the efforts to find a
solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
The negotiations on the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
have been conducted since 1992 within the framework of the OSCE Minsk
Group.
Taking the floor at the UN Security Council, Leonid Kozhara said that
the search for ways out of the protracted conflicts will be a priority
under Ukraine's OSCE chairmanship. The minister said that Kiev is
determined to "make a contribution to the Trans-Dniester settlement
process" and "fully supports the work within the Geneva international
discussions aimed at addressing the security and humanitarian issues
in the Georgian conflict area."
