Garabagh negotiators hope ‘to finalize basic settlement principles’ in 2010
The OSCE mediators brokering settlement to the Armenia-Azerbaijan
conflict over Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh hope to complete work on the
basic principles for the conflict resolution in 2010.
The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs - Yuri Merzlyakov of Russia; Bernard Fassier of France and Robert Bradtke of the United States – said in a statement Friday that they had visited Azerbaijan where they met with President Ilham Aliyev to follow up on the discussions between President Aliyev and President of Armenia Serzh Sarkisian in Munich November 22. As a next step, the mediators also intend to visit Yerevan in early January.
"These visits will prepare the way for further meetings between the two presidents in 2010 to finalize the Basic Principles for the peaceful settlement of the Garabagh conflict," the statement said.
This time, the intermediaries visited only Azerbaijan and will not head to Armenia due to the Armenian leadership’s absence from the country.*
