ArmInfo. The OSCE political declaration will not be adopted as there is
yet no consensus on the problem of conflicts, Armenian Foreign Minister
Vardan Oskanyan told Armenian journalists in Madrid.

ArmInfo’s correspondend reports from Madrid that some OSCE member
states still have conflicts with respect to which OSCE has no general
approach yet. Oskanyan did not say what influence this might have on
the future work of that organization. He just said that there was
serious controversy, which prevented OSCE from reaching consensus on
the above problems.

Oskanyan pointed out that representatives of all the three OSCE Minsk
Group co-chair-states – the foreign ministers of Russia and France and
the US assistant state secretary – met this time. They presented their
approaches to moot questions. This discussion will be probably
continued during the next visit of the co-chairs to the region.

To remind, the foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan met in
Madrid today. Oskanyan said that they considered the possible date of
the next visit of the OSCE MG co-chairs to the region.
