OSCE Delegation Met with Opposition Leaders
Visiting Azerbaijan, the delegation of Permanent Representatives of 19 states in the OSCE met with representatives of the opposition today. The meeting was attended by the leader of Musavat Isa Gambar, the head of the Popular Front Party Ali Kerimli and the chairman of the executive committee of the Liberal Party Avaz Temirkhan.
Commenting on the results of the meeting for Turan, Gambar said that the OSCE is working in Azerbaijan in two directions: the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict and the development of democracy. "We noted that in both of these areas there is no progress and gave suggestions to the Permanent Representatives," Gambar said.
