ICG: Specific Steps Will Hardly Be Taken at Kocharian-Aliyev Meeting

PanARMENIAN.Net - The International Crisis Group (ICG) does not intend to publish new reports on Nagorno Karabakh, because no changes have occurred in the situation, stated ICG South Caucasus Project Director Sabine Freizer. She said that the Group will prepare a report concerning the situation in the region in 2007. As for the meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents to be held within the Summit of CIS Head of States in Minsk Sabine Freizer said she does not believe important decision will be taken on the settlement of the NK conflict. "Presidents Aliyev and Kocharian are not resolute in compromising. They have not prepared the society for the possible compromises. If the matter comes to agreeing over the principles, the presidents will have to explain the essence of agreement elements and the necessity of compromise to the public," she said, reports APA.
