In response to the question about refugees, Micheline Calmy-Rey said
the following: "Of course, the solution of the problem of refugees
first of all depends on the resolution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict,
OSCE Minsk Group is making efforts to solve the conflict. The Council
of Europe expects peaceful solution to the conflict and has great
hopes for this. After that, though the problem of refugees and IDPs
will not be solved completely – thus, it requires time – the solution
to the problem may be included into the context of the resolution of
the conflict generally."
