The OSCE stands for continuation of the negotiation process and defends
the aspiration of the Karabakh conflict parties to accelerate it,
the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Ilkka Kanerva declared during a press
conference in Baku.
Kanerva noted that "it is necessary to accelerate the negotiations to
reach a peaceful and only peaceful solution to the Karabakh issue." He
added, however, that "the OSCE stands for resolution of the conflict
within the framework of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity."
The OSCE Chairman-in-Office appreciated the fact that the political
leaderships of Armenia and Azerbaijan express willingness to continue
the negotiations in the near future. He noted that the OSCE supports
the talks between the Presidents of the two countries within the
framework of the OSCE Minsk Group.
Azeri Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov described the negotiations
with Ilkka Kanerva as "productive."
