/PanARMENIAN.Net/ March 17-18 Members of Parliaments of Armenia and
Azerbaijan will have a meeting in Brussels, in the course of which
the draft report drawn by OSCE Parliamentary Assembly rapporteur on
Nagorno Karabakh Goran Lenmarker will be discussed, Regnum news
agency reported. The Armenian party will be represented at the
meeting by Head of the OSCE PA delegation, Vice-Speaker Vahan
Hovhannisian and delegation member Samvel Nikoyan. Goran Lenmarker’s
report is expected to be presented in the course of the OSCE PA
summer session in Washington. In an earlier interview with Trend
Azeri agency Goran Lenmarker stated that `the OSCE PA report aims at
attraction of the attention of the international community.’ In his
opinion, the protraction of the solution of the problem `is due to
the international community not having sufficient information over
the conflict and low interest towards it.’ However, the rapporteur
supposed that the final settlement of the problem depends on the
parties themselves. `I hope for the discussion of the issue at the
OSCE PA to speed up the conflict solution.’ Simultaneously Lenmarker
noted that his mission does not lie in interfering with the OSCE
Minsk Group work. `Both in the PACE and the OSCE PA the report on
Karabakh will be of familiarization nature and it will note the
causes of the conflict, the current situation and prospects of its
settlement,’ he noted.
