In his remarks to the Ministerial Council of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), which is hold a session in the Bulgarian capital Sofia, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell said on December 7 that “a new push from the OSCE” is needed to solve frozen conflicts in the post-Soviet space.
“In parts of our OSCE community, frozen conflicts still remain frozen fifteen years after the end of the Cold War. In the months since our last ministerial meeting, there has been little headway made toward resolution of the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh or in breakaway regions of Moldova and Georgia. A new push from the OSCE and by the leaders of participating states is needed,” Colin Powell said.
