Baku, Azerbaijan, June 30 By Seba Aghayeva – Trend: OSCE will take all the measures and will use all the instruments to resolve the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, said OSCE Chairperson-in-Office and German Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs Frank-Walter Steinmeier. He made the remarks during a joint press conference with Azerbaijan’s Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov in Baku June 30. The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict sides and mediators should achieve a certain result that would prevent the escalation of the situation, added Steinmeier. Concrete proposals are needed for that, he noted. It is necessary to achieve the constructive settlement of the conflict, said Steinmeier, adding that exactly this issue was earlier discussed during his visit to Yerevan. “I am glad for the meetings of the two countries’ presidents. We need to hold stage-by-stage talks in order to step up the ceasefire,” he added.
