HAMLET GASPARIAN: "OSCE FACT-FINDING MISSION'S REPORT SHOWS THAT
AZERBAIJAN BECAME THE VICTIM OF ITS OWN ILLUSIONS"
YEREVAN, MARCH 24, NOYAN TAPAN. The OSCE fact-finding mission's
report, as well as the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairmen's letter are the
bright evidence of the fact that Azerbaijan became the victim of its
own illusions and propaganda as the facts represented in the report
completely refute Azerbaijan's "anxiety" and the represented "data."
Hamlet Gasparian, Spokesman of RA Foreign Ministry, reported this while
commenting upon the March 23 statement of Azeri Foreign Minister that
"the OSCE fact-finding mission confirmed Azerbaijan's information and
anxiety about the settlement." "It's obvious from the statement that
the Azeri propaganda machine tangled in the figures drawn by it. Thus,
instead of the former 23 thousand represented by them they put forward
the figure of 17 thousand "revealed" by the mission and persist that
these figures are close to each other. But simple addition of numbers
in the report shows that the maximum number of residents makes only
13 thousand people," RA Foreign Ministry's Spokesman emphasized. He
mentioned that the problem isn't in the quantity but in Azerbaijan's
tactics, i.e to do its best to hamper the serious discussion of the
issue as they aren't ready for serious obligations: "And a serious
obligation means political responsibility before the international
community and your own people." In Hamlet Gasparian's affirmation,
the militant threats that became more frequent lately are one of the
manifestations of Azerbaijan's above-mentioned tactics. "They behave
as if little blood was shed by now and now they instigate to a new
bloodshed." As for Azerbaijan's another affirmation that the report
indirectly affirms that the settlement is carried out by the Republic
of Armenia, according to Hamlet Gasparian, this was also turned upside
down: "The report's text and the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairmen's letter
are an exhaustive answer to the very question. Only one quotation from
the letter addressed to the Permanent Council of Co-chairmen: "... the
Mission revealed (some) settlement in the studied territories. The
mission didn't reveal that such a settlement is the result of Armenian
government's purposeful policy." In connection with the possibility
of Azerbaijan's pursuing the issue of settlement in the UN General
Assembly, RA Foreign Ministry's Spokesman emphasized that "as it was
mentioned in the Co-chairmen's letter, the general condition of OSCE
mission's reception in Nagorno Karabakh was that Azerbaijan is to
stop the speculation of this issue in the UN General Assembly." If
the Azeri party continues raising the issue in the UN, according to
Hamlet Gasparian, "it will be revealed how much Azerbaijan's government
respects its own promise given to the international community, in
particular, to the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairmen." "If nevertheless
Azerbaijan continues its initiative in the UN General Assembly it
will exhaust its authority as a partner in the negotiations," the
Foreign Ministry's Spokesman declared.
