/PanARMENIAN.Net/ We have much belief in the formation of conditions
for reaching peace accord in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. In this
respect we consider the Kazan meeting of the Presidents a real
opportunity, Ruth’s opinion, peace may be reached now or in far
future. The conflict settlement within a short period of time is in
the hands of parties themselves. Issues necessary for peace are being
discussed for 18 months already, and these discussions will
continue,meet with V. Oskanian in Moscow August 23, however he said
nothing of participation of the Co-Chairs in the meeting. In the
Minister’s words, after the meeting V. Oskanian and he will present a
special report to their Presidents. It should be reminded that during
their latest visit to the region OSCE MG Co-Chairs said they hoped for
progress after the Kazan meeting. They said the parties agreed at
their Warsaw to continue talks rapidly. Thus, the Co-Chairs held a
number of meetings with Azeri and Armenian officials within a few
months. Besides, the Co-Chairs stated that blaming them in not solving
the problem is incorrect, as conflict settlement depends not as much
on the mediators as on the parties. It should also be noted that after
his visit to the US E. Mammadyarov announced not great, however
progress in the solution of the issue. In his words, although talks
are hard, he is optimistic over the coming meetings, the 525 Baku
newspaper reported.
