The three countries mediating a peaceful solution to the territorial
dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan have urged the two to start
drafting an agreement soon.

It said that French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, Russian Foreign
Minister Sergey Lavrov and US Assistant Secretary of State Daniel
Fried had issued a statement in Helsinki regarding the resolution of
the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict. In the statement, France, Russia and
the USA, which are the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, called on
Armenia and Azerbaijan to use the "constructive and positive impulse"
that was created at the meeting between the Azerbaijani and Armenian
presidents in Moscow on 2 November, Day.az said.

"The co-chair countries call on the parties [to the conflict] to
conclude work on the basic principles of [conflict] resolution in
the coming months and begin drafting an agreement," Day.az quoted
the statement as saying.

The co-chair countries also called on the sides to put an end to
sniper shooting on the front line to prevent civilians and servicemen
being killed.
