QORAN LENMARKER INITIATED MEETING
2005-03-19 19:32

Meeting between Azerbaijani and Armenian parliamentarians held in
Brussels on initiative of Qoran Lenmarker OSCE Parliamentary Assembly
special representative on Daqliq Qarabaq conflict gave no results.
Member of Azerbaijani delegation at OSCE PA Eldar Ibrahimov informed
ANS about the meeting. Both sides put forward own arguments.
Azerbaijani side wants restoration of territorial integrity while
Armenians claim economic ties. That’s why we failed top come to any
agreement. Heads of international organizations during the meeting at
European Parliament and European Commission told the conflicting
sides it is up to them to find solution to the problem. Foreign
organizations may just assist by adopting documents and making
reports. OSCE PA special representative on Daqliq Qarabaq conflict
Qoran Lenmarker is going to present his report on the conflict on
March. The report will be presented to both sides. We shall see
whether we are satisfied or not says Eldar Ibrahimov. Mr. Lenmarker’s
report will be heard at OSCE session to be held on June in
Washington.
