OSCE Minsk Group Russian Co-Chair Yuri Merzlyakov said “the parties are still too far from coming to an agreement over settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.” In Merzlyakov’s words, the preparation of the agreement needs months of intense work of both experts and representatives of parties to conflict. MG French Co-Chair Bernard Fassier remarked certain progress over settlement principles is available. At that he added there are many complex aspects the parties have not come to accord over yet. “We consider the spirit of the talks and relations between the parties that positively develop are important and it helps us much,” the French Ambassador said. US mediator Steven Mann noted “the preparation of the principles is an indispensable phase for the following preparation of the solution of all technical issues, working out details and modalities at the level of experts.” In his words, the new atmosphere and the spirit of openness at the talks promote determination of future basic principles of the treaty.
