OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs not to visit Karabakh any time soon - Warlick

The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, which is working to find a solution to the conflict in Nagorno-Karakabkh, will not visit the region any time soon according to the group's American co-chair.

"In the near future we have no specific plans to visit the region, but we are in active contacts with the sides to organize the meeting of the Presidents," said Warlick in a statement.

The leaders met in St Petersburg in June and in Vienna in May. The co-chairs last visited the region on April 5, following an agreemet on the cessation of hostilities which broke out on April 2, claiming dozens of Armenian and Azerbaijani lives.

We strongly condemn the recent, politically motivated, imprisonment and detention of the leaders of Georgian opposition, clearly designed to stifle political opposition in Georgia, a few months ahead of the local elections. Their detention, as well as arbitrary arrests and increasing repression of other Georgian authorities` critics, representatives of civil society, peaceful protesters and independent journalists, contribute to dismantling of democracy in Georgia and rapid transformation towards an authoritarian system, in contradiction to European norms and values. Recent legislative changes aim at stifling independent civil society and legitimate protest.
