Bernard Kouchner French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner has called
on Azerbaijan and Armenia to solve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict soon.

Addressing the 17th OSCE Ministerial Council on Tuesday, Kouchner
said there was a strong basis for a solution to the conflicts over
Nagorno-Karabakh and Transdniestria in eastern Moldova.

He said that the efforts of the Minsk Group mediators and the
Azerbaijani and Armenian presidents had led to important steps in a
solution to the conflict.

"The presidents have met six times this year alone. We hope that
progress will be made in Athens too and the conflict will be solved
soon. I call on the foreign ministers of both countries to reach an
agreement on the solution to the conflict and to set it out on paper."

Touching upon Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s proposal for a
European security system, the minister said France was one of the
countries that supported this proposal.

"The solution of old conflicts and the prevention of new threats is
a priority of this security system."

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
