/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "I believe that talks [over settlement of the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict], held within the past months helped achieve notable
progress owing to mediation of the OSCE MG co-chairs and were held in
a constructive atmosphere," French FM Philippe Douste-Blazy stated
at the session of the OSCE Foreign Ministers. He urged parties to
continue moving along the way chosen.

Luxembourg Minister of Foreign Affairs and Immigration Jean Asselborn
also addressed the issue of unsolved conflicts in his speech. "The
increase of tension in Georgia, delay of search for a solution of
the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, separatism, the so-called referendum
and elections in Transnistria and South Ossetia hamper solution of
"frozen" conflicts," he noted. He welcomed OSCE efforts to search for
an agreement. In his opinion, the OSCE can form a favorable atmosphere
for search for a lasting solution of conflicts, reports Trend.
