OSCE Secretary General Lamberto Zannier said on November 1 that Turkey is an important player in the region and may offer a political contribution to the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process, day.az reports.
Zannier underlined the importance of a dialogue in solving any conflict. Turkey may take part in the process.
The secretary general noted that there are discussions to shift the issue elsewhere. However, he doubts there will be any benefits from such actions. There is nothing wrong with the OSCE working on the problem, Zannier continues.
It is the conflicting sides that need to make steps towards each other and express the political will to conclude the conflict, he underlines.
Zannier believes that the mechanism for solving the conflict needs to be improved. Officials are trying to provide the necessary atmosphere for the talks, but the situation is becoming complicated. The secretary general says the OSCE must prevent an escalation of the conflict.
