All CONFLICTS SHOULD BE SETTLED BY PEACE: US CO-CHAIR OF OSCE MG
YEREVAN, APRIL 12. ARMINFO. Each conflict has its peculiarities, says
US Co-chair of OSCE Minsk Group Stephen Mann says who is presently
heading a US diplomatic delegation in Abkhazia.
In an interview to REGNUM he says that he has never drawn parallels
between the Karabakh and Abkhazian conflicts but for one thing – all
the region’s conflicts must be settled by peace. The mediators in the
conflicts should pay more attention to what the conflicting parties
say rather than to what is published in the press.
Asked if he is expecting specific steps on the part of Baku in
response to Armenian Defence Minister’s recent speech where he voiced
some principal concessions Mann says that he prefers not to speak in
conditional mood. OSCE MG will continue its dialogue with the Armenian
and Azeri FMs and hopefully will attain some effective, constructive
and specific agreement.
