    UNIFICATION OF KARABAKH AND ARMENIA

    Azat Artsakh - Nagorno Karabakh Republic [NKR]
    12 July 05

    According to the Special Representative of the OSCE Parliamentary
    Assembly on Nagorno Karabakh Goran Lenmarker unification of Karabakh
    and Armenia is the best resolution of the conflict. The 14th session
    of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly lasting from July 1 to 5 in
    Washington is over. The balanced report of the Special Representative
    of Nagorno Karabakh Goran Lenmarker, which was also on the agenda, was
    not adopted as a resolution. During the session closed discussions of
    the Nagorno Karabakh issue were held, during which the American
    co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group Stephen Mann, the personal
    representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk and the
    Swedish parliamentarian Goran Lenmarker expressed their opinions
    too. The head of the Azerbaijani parliamentary delegation Safar
    Safarov told the Voice of America that during the closed discussion
    Lenmarker had stated that the recognition of the independence of
    Nagorno Karabakh is unacceptable for Europe because it may result in a
    long series of negative consequences. According to the Azerbaijani
    diplomat, at the same time Goran Lenmarker stated that the best
    guarantee for the security of the Armenians is the unification of
    Karabakh and Armenia. The Swedish parliamentarian called the
    representatives of Azerbaijan to give up militarist speeches and
    guarantee that Azerbaijan will not threaten the Armenians. By the way,
    the Secretary General of the Council of Europe Terry Davis spoke
    against resuming military actions and warned that the side of the
    Nagorno Karabakh conflict that resumes the military actions first will
    be expelled from the Council of Europe. According to the news agency
    Armenpress, Davis explained his position by the commitment of Armenia
    and Azerbaijan to resolve the conflict through peace talks. Mr. Davis
    also mentioned that hopefully the conflict will be solved as soon as
    possible. As to Lenmarkers report, it particularly suggests following
    the principle of victory victory in the resolution of the conflict on
    the basis of the existing proposals, with the support of the European
    organizations. The balanced report which the Azerbaijanis think
    favours the Armenians, was not adopted. The reason, hopefully, will be
    explained by the members of our delegation who will sum up the results
    of the session in the upcoming days. Before that we shall be content
    with the explanations of the Azerbaijani delegates. According to the
    head of the delegation Safar Safarov, they offered their proposal for
    the discussion and Lenmarker offered his. At the beginning of the
    session the Azerbaijani delegation presented its own project on the
    Karabakh conflict as an alternative to Lenmarkers report, which was,
    however, rejected. The Minsk Group co-chairs, i.e. the USA, France and
    Russia, as well as Canada, Lithuania, Czech and others voted against
    the proposal of Baku. The Azerbaijani representative said they were
    not satisfied with certain principles of the report by Lenmarker for
    the latter did not agree to a compromise. As a result none of the
    proposals were adopted. Safar Abiev also stated that the Azerbaijani
    delegation had also prepared a portfolio of proposals on the basis of
    the report of the Special Representative on Nagorno Karabakh, which
    will be soon extended to Goran Lenmarker. In the upcoming issues of
    the newspaper we will give the comments of the Armenian delegation on
    the developments in Washington. The 14th session of the OSCE
    Parliamentary Assembly resulted in the Washington declaration adopted
    by the parliamentarians of 55 countries, in which political and
    economic issues and human rights are accentuated. The Assembly calls
    for joining together all the economic and social potential to fight
    terrorism.
