The Geneva Discussions have for the last two years served as a structure to discuss possible solutions in the area of security, stability and humanitarian issues, said Bolat Nurgaliyev, the Special Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, following a meeting in Geneva.
`The tasks of the Geneva process remain as relevant and urgent as ever for reconciliation. I am deeply convinced that the Dvani/Ergneti Incident Prevention and Response Mechanism has the potential to positively impact the daily lives of many people,` - Nurgaliyev said.
He and the other two Co-Chairs of the Geneva Discussions, Pierre Morel of the EU and Antti Turunen of the UN, repeated their calls for resumption of regular meetings of the Dvani/Ergneti Incident Prevention and Response Mechanism.
Nurgaliyev informed the participants that the OSCE is ready to start working on a number of projects, including repairing the Zonkari dam as a practical and a confidence-building measure, to be funded by the EU. Quick repair of the dam will improve its safety and restore its potential to provide irrigation water, he said.
