Tbilisi. Nizami Mammadzadeh – APA. "I regard the present situation
concerning Nagorno Karabakh conflict as the stage to pass a decision,"
OSCE Parliamentary Assembly’s special representative for Nagorno
Karabakh and Georgia Goran Lennmarker told APA’s Georgia bureau.

Goran Lennmarker said he would pay visits to Yerevan and Baku after
finishing meetings in Georgia.

"We will hold very important meetings, also meet with presidents of
the two countries. I think it is high time to find the solution to the
Karabakh conflict. I think the activity of the Minsk Group means that
there is a basis to find the solution to the problem. But the most
important is to find the solution that will satisfy both presidents.

The settlement of the problem is more important for Azerbaijan,
because Azerbaijan has a lot of refugees and IDPs. Their right to
return to their homes should be restored," he said.

Goran Lennmarker also said that progress was observed in the solution
to Nagorno Karabakh problem.

"Meetings continue on the level of foreign ministers and presidents
basing on the proposals of OSCE Minsk Group. I would regard the
present situation as the time to pass a decision. Taking into account
the present opportunities, the presidents should try to reach an
agreement on the solution to the problem," he said.
