KLO Going to Upset OSCE MG Visit to Karabakh Conflict RegionDecember 7, 2005 - 16:34 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The Azerbaijani Karabakh Liberation Organization considers that the regular meeting of the Armenia and Azerbaijani FMs with the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs in Ljubljana proved fruitless. "The Co-Chairs tried to make semblance of working atmosphere. OSCE Chairman-in-Office Dimitrij Rupel contented himself with empty statements that serious results will be achieved next year. We reiterate that periodical statements of the kind and meetings at various levels strengthen Armenia's position on the seized territories," says the statement spread by the KLO. Besides, it noted that "each day of negotiations allows Armenia to strengthen its occupation army and get new armament from Russia while the Azeri army suffers losses." "During the Ljubljana meeting one more Azeri soldier was killed at the front. Thus, the statements by the OSCE Co-Chairs on a new visit to the region is beyond any bounds," the KLO says. The organization considers that the negotiations should first of all "proceed from comprehending Armenia's aggressive actions and eliminate the consequences of aggression, otherwise any talks and visits are senseless." "We use all the possible means to prevent the visit of the MG mediators to the region," the document notes.
