Garabagh mediator cites new approach

Baku, April 27, AssA-Irada

The approach toward settlement of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Upper
(Nagorno) Garabagh conflict has somewhat changed, Russian ITAR-TASS
news agency quoted the US co-chairman of the mediating OSCE Minsk
Group (MG) as saying.
Steven Mann said the new approach envisions advancing step by step
and putting off certain complex issues until later.
`From this standpoint, suitable grounds have emerged for compromises
[by the conflicting sides] on the conflict resolution,’ the
intermediary said, adding that the dispute could not be resolved once
and for good.
Mann said he would visit Moscow next week to hold consultations with
the other co-chairs.
The OSCE mediators are due to meet in Moscow on May 2, followed by
their visits to the region.*
