/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The International Crisis Group (ICG) does not
intend to publish new reports on Nagorno Karabakh, because no changes
have occurred in the situation, stated ICG South Caucasus Project
Director Sabine Freizer. She said that the Group will prepare a report
concerning the situation in the region in 2007.

As for the meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents to be
held within the Summit of CIS Head of States in Minsk Sabine Freizer
said she does not believe important decision will be taken on the
settlement of the NK conflict. "Presidents Aliyev and Kocharian are
not resolute in compromising. They have not prepared the society for
the possible compromises.

If the matter comes to agreeing over the principles, the presidents
will have to explain the essence of agreement elements and the
necessity of compromise to the public," she said, reports APA.
