Yerevan, 6 June: The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen today described the
peaceful settlement of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict as “urgent and
achievable”, the mediators today said in a statement on the results
of the meeting between the Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents in
Bucharest on 4-5 June, Mediamax reports.

“The co-chairmen continue to keep to the opinion that a peaceful
solution is urgent and achievable and that 2006 remains a comfortable
‘window’ for such progress. The co-chairmen continue to consider
that the main principles of the settlement, which they identified and
submitted to the conflicting parties, are a basis for the settlement
that meets the interests of both sides. The co-chairmen regret that
the parties have not reached agreement on these principles yet,”
the statement reads.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
