Yury Merzlyakov, Russian co- chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group for the
Nagorno-Karabakh settlement thinks that all necessary conditions have
yet to be created in order to reach the Nagorno-Karabakh in 2009.

"I always reiterate that objective conditions for the settlement have
been created, while subjective [conditions] seem to be absent now,"
Merzlyakov told journalists in Stepanakert, where the co-chairmen
of the OSCE Minsk Group, Merzlyakov, Bernard Fassier from France
and Matthew Bryza from the United States, met with President of
the self-proclaimed republic of Nagorno-Karabakh Bako Saakian a
day earlier.
