    STATEMENT OF OSCE MINSK GROUP CO-CHAIRS

    http://www.a1plus.am/en/politics/2011/12/01/osce

    The following statement has been posted on the OSCE's official website
    after the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs' November 28-30 visits to Yerevan
    and Baku:

    "The Co-Chairs were accompanied by Ambassador Jacques For, who
    will be replacing Ambassador Fassier as the French Co-Chair. In
    Yerevan the Co-Chairs met with President Serzh Sargsyan, Foreign
    Minister Edward Nalbandyan and Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan, and
    in Baku they met with President Ilham Aliyev, Foreign Minister Elmar
    Mammedyarov and Defense Minister Safar Abiyev. During all meetings,
    the Co-Chairs affirmed their respective countries' commitment to
    show support to the sides for a stable and peaceful resolution of
    the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

    Taking into account the information about the latest incidents on
    the line of contact, the Co-Chairs have underlined the importance of
    maintaining the ceasefire agreement signed in 1994. They have stressed
    that such incidents go to show the need for implementing a mechanism
    for leading investigation into the incidents along the line of contact,
    on which the presidents of both countries have reached an agreement.

    The Co-Chairs have discussed the strengthening of confidence, as well
    as the issue of applying additional measures for maintaining cultural
    buildings, cemeteries and sites of worship.

    On November 29, the Co-Chairs crossed the border between Armenia
    and Azerbaijan by foot. In addition, they met with local officials
    to discuss the situation created in the bordering region. The
    Co-Chairs on November 30 met with the Azerbaijani representatives of
    Nagorno-Karabakh and underlined that the peaceful resolution should
    include the right of all internally displaced people and refugees to
    return to their former sites of residence.

    Ahead of the OSCE Foreign Ministers' Ministerial Council to be held
    in Vilnius in December, the Co-Chairs have called on the sides to
    take advantage of the created opportunity and emphasize once again
    their willingness to seek ways for a peaceful resolution and get out
    of the unacceptable status-quo."
