    Ukraine doesn't rule out sending of peacekeepers to Karabakh

    Vitali Matarykin

    ZHITOMIR, May 24 - Secretary of Ukrainian National Defence and
    Security Council Pyotr Poroshenko said in Zhitomir on Tuesday he did
    not rule out a possibility of sending Ukrainian peacekeepers to the
    zone of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, provided there are no
    objectives from all the parties to the conflict.

    According to Poroshenko, the participation of Ukraine's peacekeepers
    in the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict was discussed
    during a recent visit of the Ukrainian foreign minister to
    Azerbaijan.

    The conflict began in 1988 when the Regional Council of the
    Nagorno-Karabakh Region, as a constituent region of the Azerbaijan
    Soviet Socialist Republic, made a decision to ask the Supreme
    Councils of Azerbaijan and Armenian Soviet Socialist Republics to
    join Armenia.

    Azerbaijan condemned this decision and an armed conflict broke out.
    Russia brokered a ceasefire in the area in May 1994.
