The OSCE needs to focus on the issues where it can make a real
difference, including solving the region’s frozen conflicts, the
OSCE Chairman-in-Office, newly appointed Finnish Foreign Minister
Alexander Stubb, told the Organization’s Permanent Council today.
"We must seriously look for solutions to the so-called frozen
conflicts. My aim is to re-energize efforts towards peaceful
settlement of these conflicts," said the Chairman-in-Office. "I
sincerely hope that the efforts of the Finnish Chairmanship are met
with constructive engagement by all parties. I continue to support
the existing negotiation mechanisms, including the OSCE Minsk Group
and its Co-Chairs."
The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, which is working to find a
solution for the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, are France, Russia and
the United States.
Stubb, who was appointed as Foreign Minister of Finland on 4 April,
also expressed concern over recent incidents in Nagorno-Karabakh and
South Ossetia and appealed to all parties to refrain from violence.
