Goran Lenmarker says he visits Azerbaijan to learn Bakuâ€™s reaction to the Georgian events

Lenmarker said it was necessary to learn Azerbaijanâ€™s position because it was one of the most important countries of the region. â€œI think cooperation in the region should be extendedâ€.
The OSCE PA representative said Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict complicated this cooperation. â€œWe hope the conflict will be solved soon because there is a large number of refugees and IDPsâ€.
He said it was early to evaluate Georgian developments and added that it needed to extend cooperation to avoid such crisis.
Lenmarker reminded about his 2005 report on Nagorno Karabakh and said he didnâ€™t think to make a new one. He thinks that international organizations can help to the solution to Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict. â€œAll things depend on the two countries and their leadersâ€.
The OSCE PA representative said he was satisfied with the meetings between Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders.
