    Nagorno-Karabakh settlement must be in OSCE framework

    By Vitaly Kuchkin

    MOSCOW

    The suggestion to debate the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement at the session
    of the United Nations General Assembly parallel with the discussion in
    the OSCE framework "can hardly have a beneficial effect on the
    negotiating process", the Russian Foreign Ministry stated on Monday.
    The ministry commented on Russia's stand regarding the suggestion to
    put on the agenda of the session the clause on "the situation in the
    occupied territories of Azerbaijan".

    "Russia, just as other co-chairmen of the MInsk group of the OSCE,
    abstained from the voting", the ministry pointed out. "The results of
    the voting showed that most members of the world community share this
    stand". "Russia is interested in the early settlement of the
    Nagorno-Karabakh problem and promotes this in every way, be it in the
    bilateral respect or as the co-chairman of the Minsk group of the
    OSCE", the ministry noted. "The group's format permits it to deal with
    any problems related to the conflict and to ensuring peace", the
    ministry believes. "Besides, the recent meeting of the presidents of
    Azerbaijan and Armenia opened prospects for the resumption of the talks
    on the quest of the mutually-acceptable solution".
