    SABINE FREIZER: "SITUATION AROUND THE NAGORNO KARABAKH CONFLICT IS TOO SENSITIVE AT PRESENT"

    Baku. Tamara Grigoryeva-APA. "The meeting of Azerbaijani and Armenian
    presidents is of great importance.

    I hope that the presidents will agree to review the proposals of OSCE
    Minsk Group Co-Chairs", Sabine Freizer, Europe Programme Director of
    the International Crisis Group told APA exclusively. She said that
    the situation around the negotiations on Nagorno Karabakh conflict
    was too sensitive.

    "The presidential elections in both countries caused this. The
    presidential elections have already been held in Armenia,
    this process was accompanied by hard developments, rallies and
    discontents. Elections will be held in Azerbaijan. I think the
    situation is sensitive, as both countries are engaged in the
    elections", she said.

    Assessing the change of the government in Armenia, Sabine Freizer
    expressed her hope that this factor would have a positive influence
    on the process of negotiations.

    "New president - means new spirit, new enthusiasm. I hope Serzh
    Sarkisian will have a constructive position and this factor will give
    an impetus to the process of negotiations", she said.

    Asked about the arsons committed in the occupied territories of
    Azerbaijan, Sabine Freizer said such cases were repeated every year.

    "These fires occur every year and this is a serious problem. OSCE
    fact-finding mission led by Bernard Snoy visited the region and gave
    some recommendations to the conflict parties last year. It would be
    better if they follow these recommendations", she said.
