    YEREVAN, MARCH 31, NOYAN TAPAN. The OSCE continues to believe that
    political way is the only one for solving the Karabakh
    conflict. Stating about it at the March 30 press conference in
    Yerevan, Dimitriy Rupel, the OSCE Chairman-in-Office, the Foreign
    Minister of Slovenia, called to cease attempts to resume the
    fire. "Agressive language among the parties should be excluded, we
    should aim to bring the parties closer through dialogue," D.Rupel
    said. According to him, he envisages to discuss the issue of attempts
    to break the regime of cease-fire, which have recently become more
    frequent, during his coming visit to Baku.

    necessity of solving the Kharabakh problem in the military way,
    D.Rupel stated: "The OSCE does not believe in such means. We shall
    make attempts to assure Azerbaijan that no means other than peaceful
    negotiations are acceptable." As for the involvement of Nagorno
    Karabakh in the process of the negotiations, the OSCE
    Chairman-in-Office mentioned: "I can imagine the situation when the
    opinion of the interested parties will be asked. But the main players
    in this game are Armenia and Azerbaijan." According to him, the
    Karabakh conflict is a "special case", which cannot be compared with
    other conflicts on the post-Soviet territory.

    Both D.Rupel and Vardan Osakanian, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of
    Armenia, expressed satisfaction with the results of D.Rupel's visit to
    Yerevan and called the meetings taken place of full value and
    effective. According to them, at the meetings of the OSCE
    Chairman-in-Office with the Chairman the RA NA and the RA Foreign
    Minister, the first and foremost issue was the peacesful settlement of
    the Karabakh conflict.

    Vardan Oskanian highly estimated the efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group
    in the peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict.

    According to him, the Minsk Group has not exhausted itself, it is able
    to play a great role in the process of settlement. He also expressed
    confidence, that a meeting of the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan
    will take place in May: it may happen on May 9 in Moscow or on May 16
