DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING PROBLEM OF NAGORNY KARABAKH TO BE HELD IN
MOSCOW ON MAY 16-17
YEREVAN, MARCH 30. ARMINFO. On May 16-17 in Moscow the Foreign
Political Association of Russia, Association of Russian diplomats and
World Peace-Keeping Association will hold the third discussions
concerning the problem of Nagorny Karabakh. Former Cochairman of OSCE
Minsk Group for settlement of the Karabakh conflict Vladmir Kazimirov
stated during the hearings on Nagorny Karabakh held at Armenian
parliament.
Vladimir Kazimirov also expressed an opinion that Armenia is not the
guarantor of security of NKR, but a third party of the conflict. "I
cannot change this point of view. It's another matter that Armenia,
declaring itself a guarantor of the security of NKR, may squeeze out
of the international community the maximum in order to resign from
this role - in exchange for provision of guarantees by the
international community", the former cochairman said. Speaking about
the question of the status, he mentioned if it is not solved by
negotiations, then it will be possible to solve it by conducting a
repeated referendum of independence in the NKR territory. "As regards
the participation of representatives of the Azerbaijani community of
Nagorny Karabakh in the referendum, then the simple arithmetic shows
that their participation will not have an influence of the results of
the referendum", Vladimir Kazimirov added. He stressed the importance
of manifestation of constructive activity in resolution to the
conflict by all the parties.
In his turn, Serge Sargsian, Defence Minister of Armenia, Secretary of
National Security Council of the president, appealed to Vladimir
Kazimirov with a request to use his contacts with Foreign Ministry of
Russia in order to attract the attention of the OSCE Minsk Group to
the document signed in 1995 concerning the terms of establishment of
the cease-fire regime, where the positions of the armed forces of the
parties in that period are fixed. "Let the cochairmen and
international community understand who violates the documents,
cease-fire regime and pushes ahead its positions. It's high time to
focus on these problems", Serge Sargsian stressed.
