Rupel Happy About Progress In Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict

FM Dimitrij Rupel visited as OSCE chairman-in-office Azerbaijan and Armenia to facilitate a solution to the conflict of Nagorno-Karabakh, an independence-seeking enclave located in Azerbaijan, but populated mainly by Armenians.

Rupel said, after meeting several top officials and NGOs from both countries as well as the leader of the unrecognised enclave, he could see a window of opportunity there, yet admitted it was hard to predict how talks would develop, especially with Azerbaijan gearing up for a general election in Nov. He was happy with signs of convergence of views on the resolution of the conflict, but "the devil is in the details," he told the press in Yerevan after meeting his Armenian counterpart Vartan Oskanyan. OSCE-sponsored talks on the conflict were launched in 1993 under the wing of the Minsk Group, joining Russia, the US and France.
