OSCE MG: Nagorno Karabakh must participate in talksMay 24, 2007 - 14:50 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Whatever the Azeri side says, war cannot be a solution to the Nagorno Karabakh problem, it is an axiom, OSCE Minsk Group French Co-Chair Bernard Fassier stated to journalists in Yerevan. He said Co-Chairs' stance in this issue is unchangeable. At the same time Fassier again reminded the mediators are not magicians, the main thing for settlement is the political will of both presidents. "We think the solution will be fair, balanced and compromised. If the meeting between Armenian and Azeri Presidents in Saint Petersburg is successful, the circle of issues under discussion will significantly narrow. It is quite possible that a spurt awaits all of us till the end of the year. But if unfortunately the basic principles are not approved, the negotiations will be just frozen for an indefinite period of time. If you remember, talks were stopped in 2004 and began only at the end of 2005. We should not forget that presidential elections are scheduled in 2008 in both countries," Bernard Fassier said. At the same time the French mediator underlined the OSCE MG thinks that participation of Nagorno Karabakh in the negotiation process is necessary.
