    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Yesterday OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs made a recurrent
    statement. It says that principles of conflict settlement in Nagorno
    Karabakh, the Co-Chairs have presented to Azerbaijan and Armenia,
    are interpreted in different ways. The statement specifically notes,
    "Taking it into account we consider necessary to make the following
    statement.

    Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group reported to the OSCE Permanent
    Council on the outcomes of the talks with parties of the Nagorno
    Karabakh conflict. They presented a report on intensive mediation aimed
    at coming to an agreement over settlement basic principles within
    past seven months. The report contains information on the outcomes
    of the three individual and joint visits of the co-chairs to Baku
    and Yerevan, two meetings with Azeri and Armenian FMs, Rambouillet
    and Bucharest meetings with participation of Kocharian and Aliyev
    and visits to the region in May at the level of Deputy FMs of OSCE
    MG Co-Chair countries."

    The statement notes that mediation efforts of the co-chairs have
    resulted in handing fair, balanced and practical basic principles over
    NK settlement. "This proposal may result in singing of a settlement
    agreement desirable to both parties. The essence of those principles
    lies in withdrawal of Armenian troops from regions around NK and
    providing a special model to Kelbajar and Lachin regions (including the
    corridor between Armenia and NK). The date and form of demilitarization
    of those regions should be determined at later stages of the talks -
    at the time of holding a referendum on NK status. According to those
    principles, the parties will stop threatening each other and will
    fulfill their promises on international and bilateral security."

    Over the issue of the coming referendum on determining the status
    of Nagorno Karabakh the Co-Chairs noted that arrangements should be
    held for its holding. "It is a pity that the Presidents during their
    latest meeting in Bucharest could not agree over those principles. We
    believe that both Presidents should take the initiative in their hands
    to attain progress in the settlement. In case the Presidents come
    to an agreement, we are ready to assist in concluding a treaty." The
    Co-Chairs said no additional meetings are planned on their initiative
    in the near future. "In case the Presidents agree to continue the
    talks, we can again engage in the matter," reports Azeri-Press.
