In an August 30 interview with Novie Izvestiya newspaper Karel
de Gucht, OSCE Chairman-in-Office of the and Foreign Minister of
Belgium, stated that the OSCE has to take a number of measures to
settle "frozen conflicts" in the territory of the CIS. "I have met the
leaders of conflicting sides, proposed all possible services but it’s
impossible to settle those conflicts only by the OSCE’s efforts. Our
success largely depends on aspiration and will of the sides," he said.
Karel de Gucht also underscored that though a window of opportunity
was opened for the regulation of Nagorno Karabakh conflict, essential
success was not marked during the meetings of Armenian and Azerbaijani
presidents in Paris and Bucharest. "There are serious obstacles, and
to overcome them both presidents need wisdom and courage. Belgium’s
chairmanship together with the Minsk Group co-chairs will do everything
advancement of the regulation process," the OSCE Chairman-in-Office
said.
