"My report on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict will cause numerous
discussions. Some may agree and some disagree. Yesterday, I met with
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov. He seemed to agree
with some points in the report," President of the OSCE Parliamentary
Assembly Goran Lennmarker told reporters.

He stressed out some necessary points to be solved in current
situation.

"The main issue now is to stop occupation and create peaceful
relations between the two countries. The returning of refugees and
internally displaced persons to the homeland should be ensured. I
think both parties are interested in peaceful settlement of the
problem. I hope there will be no need to release the last variant of
the report on the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. The
problem will be solved and I will not have to draw up a report," he
said.

Touching upon the meeting with NGO representatives, Lennmarker said
that they discussed the current situation in the country.

"I found their opinions based on criticism very interesting. But I
think it is too early to assess these opinions. First I need to get
written reports of all parties to assess the situation in Azerbaijan
in a right way," he noted, APA reports.
