OSCE Parliamentary Assembly President Joao Soares believes the
OSCE pays great attention to the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict.

"We want all parties to underscore that the conflict cannot be resolved
through violent means," Soares told journalists today.

"The visit of the OSCE special representative on the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict shows that the structure stresses the resolution of the
conflict."

An OSCE delegation led by Soares and Lennmarker arrived in Azerbaijan
on a three-day visit March 13.

OSCE representatives visited Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan as part
of a tour of South Caucasus.

Negotiations were held in all three countries on the conflict’s
resolution, as well as the situation after the August 2008 war
in Georgia.

This is Soares’s first visit to Azerbaijan as the OSCE President.

Earlier, he visited the country as an observer to the elections.

"War and violence should be completely excluded," he said.
