OSCE Parliamentary Assembly’s special representative for Nagorno Karabakh and Georgia Goran Lennmarker said he would pay visits to Yerevan and Baku after finishing meetings in Georgia.

'We will hold very important meetings, also meet with presidents of the two countries. I think it is high time to find the solution to the Karabakh conflict. I think the activity of the Minsk Group means that there is a basis to find the solution to the problem. But the most important is to find the solution that will satisfy both presidents. The settlement of the problem is more important for Azerbaijan, because Azerbaijan has a lot of refugees and IDPs. Their right to return to their homes should be restored,' he said.

Goran Lennmarker also said that progress was observed in the solution to Nagorno Karabakh problem.

'Meetings continue on the level of foreign ministers and presidents basing on the proposals of OSCE Minsk Group. I would regard the present situation as the time to pass a decision. Taking into account the present opportunities, the presidents should try to reach an agreement on the solution to the problem,' he said.
