    The OSCE Baku office has released a statement to sup up the visit by
    the organization's Chairman-in-Office, Foreign Minister of Slovenia
    Dmitrij Rupel to Azerbaijan. The statement says: `In talks with
    Azerbaijani officials, the OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Slovenian Foreign
    Minister Dimitrij Rupel, continued to pursue ways of reaching a
    lasting solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Minister Rupel
    reaffirmed his conviction that every existing avenue to accelerate
    this peace process should be explored to the full: "I encourage all
    parties to seek the resolution of this issue through political
    dialogue. Any means other than those of a peaceful nature are not part
    of the OSCE's vocabulary", he said. He called for the stabilization of
    the situation along the frontlines. "To defuse the present tension
    and start developing confidence between the sides, ceasefire
    violations must stop." Mr. Rupel said he would like to seethe year
    2005 as a turning-point in the process of resolving the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. `The personal engagement of the two
    Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia is an important milestone on the
    path to this objective. We hope that the peaceful resolution of the
    conflict will have the full support of the Azerbaijani community of
    Nagorno-Karabakh"' he said. The Minister also said the OSCE welcomed
    the President's recent decree pardoning 115 persons, expressing hope `
    this step will promote civil reconciliation'. He emphasized the
    readiness of the OSCE to continue assisting Azerbaijan in implementing
    various reforms in the country.
