/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The OSCE MG Co-Chairman also stated that "the
most real option now is to return the Azerbaijani territories
under the current control of the Armenian armed forces, to specify
a medium status for Nagorno Karabakh, with consideration of its
security guarantees, which would be acceptable both for Baku and
Yerevan. The second part of the issue is not solvable now, and the
self-determination of the people of Nagorno Karabakh is possible only
in 5 or 10 or 15 years, after the Azerbaijani community’s return to
the region". How will you comment on this position?

"Mr. Fassier voiced the elements of the so-called "basic principles",
which the OSCE MG proposes for consideration of the Armenian and
Azerbaijani Presidents. The consultations between Armenia and
Azerbaijan on these principles take place on the formula "nothing
is agreed and solved until everything is agreed and solved". Due to
this, it seems untimely to comment now on the functional elements of
these consultations, which may not get their final shape introduced
by the mediators. Consequently, when the consultations give specific
results, then we’ll assess if they are acceptable for our people or
if they are generally realizable, because achievement of the final
settlement of the conflict and stable peace is impossible without
taking into consideration the position of Nagorno Karabakh," NKR MFA
cited Foreign Affairs Minister Georgi Petrosyan as saying.
