"Appointment of UN Special Representative can positively influence peaceful outcome of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict"

The appointment of a UN Special Representative for Nagorno-Karabakh would positively impact settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over the region, the Belgian Senate Honorary Chairman, Anne-Marie Lizin, said today.

"The OSCE Minsk Group, which has the mandate of the mediator in resolving the conflict, still has not achieved results. I think that both sides [Armenia and Azerbaijan] must urgently work in this direction and achieve the appointment of a UN Special Representative for Nagorno-Karabakh, whom the conflicting parties, and all interested countries, including Russia, will listen to," said Lizin, who is also a board member of the international advisory group YES.
