STEPANAKERT, JANUARY 17, ARTSAKHPRESS:At an informal meeting of the General Assembly in New York, António Guterres outlined 12 major areas which he said should be under their spotlight in the coming months.

He highlighted the need of removing the paralysis that has let European conflicts fester and freeze.

“Having started two world wars, and taking into account the resources and capacities available to Europe, it is unjustifiable for conflicts in the region to persist.  Resolving these situations requires pushing back the dangerous tide of nationalism, and revitalizing the relevant mediation initiatives — including the Normandy format and Trilateral Contact Group on Eastern Ukraine, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group on Nagorno‑Karabakh, the Geneva international discussions related to Georgia and the “5+2” process on Transnistria.  A concerted effort for solutions leading to long‑term stability in the Western Balkans is also urgent,” the secretary said.
