In an interview with ANS TV Goran Lennmarker, the OSCE Parliamentary
Assembly’s special representative for conflicts in Georgia and
Nagornyy-Karabakh, said: "We are planning visits to Baku and Yerevan
after our meetings within the OSCE Minsk Group. We will be holding
very important meetings with the presidents of both countries. I
believe that it is time to find a solution to the Karabakh conflict…
The settlement of the conflict is more important for Azerbaijan
because Azerbaijan has many refugees and IDPs and they have the right
to return home."
Lennmarker said some progress had been reached in the settlement
of the conflict: "Yes, there is progress in the settlement of the
Nagornyy Karabakh conflict because meetings continue on the level
of foreign ministers and presidents based on the proposals of the
OSCE Minsk Group. I see the present situation as the time to make a
decision. Both presidents should consider the present possibilities
of reaching agreement."
