"New war as an alternative to resolving the conflict between Armenia
and Azerbaijan is unthinkable," Goran Lennmarker, the President of
the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, stated in an interview on the eve
of its 16th Annual Session that begins in Kiev on July 5.
"The advantages of a peace accord for the two countries, Armenia and
Azerbaijan, are huge," he assured.
He said a good framework agreement that addresses the main concerns
of all parties has been presented by the Minsk Group, co-chaired by
France, Russia and the United States. It is ready to be signed by
the leaders of the two countries, if the political will is there.
The Assembly's increased focus East of Vienna is in the interest
of the OSCE as well as of the region itself, he said. Intensified
dialogue about common problems and the sharing of experiences can be
of great benefit to all.
Lennmarker expanded on his own active involvement in seeking a
peaceful solution to the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan
about Nagorno-Karabakh - first as the Special Representative on
Nagorno-Karabakh of the Parliamentary Assembly and now as its President
"For some time now, I have talked about 'a golden opportunity' for
an agreement and now, after another visit to the Caucasus, I believe
more than ever in that opportunity," said the President.
