    OSCE rapporteur elaborates on Garabagh conflict report



    Baku, July 1, AssA-Irada
    The international community is not ready to grant the status of
    independence to Upper Garabagh, despite its aspirations, says the
    OSCE Parliamentary Assembly special envoy on the Armenia-Azerbaijan
    conflict over Upper Garabagh, Goran Lennmarker. He indicated in his
    report that since numerous ethnic minorities live in the Caucasus,
    `it is dangerous to divide the region into small independent states
    and this is not an alternative for settling conflicts'.
    The rapporteur regarded the conflict as `frozen' due to the ongoing
    casualties on the frontline and the suffering of refugees and
    displaced persons. He positively assessed the ongoing peace process
    within the mediating OSCE Minsk Group, the Council of Europe and
    other international organizations but called on the intermediaries to
    step up efforts.
    Lennmarker also said that both Azeri and Armenian parliament members
    should refrain from harsh statements.*
