Conflict in the Caucasus
Monday, October 17, 2005; Page A14
While reporting on the parliamentary election campaign in Azerbaijan, Philip
Kennicott misrepresented key facts about the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict [news
story, Oct. 5].
In response to the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic's democratic aspiration for
self-determination, Azerbaijan launched a war against Nagorno-Karabakh, not
Armenia. Nagorno-Karabakh was able to take the war outside its borders,
pressuring Azerbaijan into signing the 1994 cease-fire agreement.
Nagorno-Karabakh, not Armenia, now controls some 8 percent, not 16 percent,
of Azerbaijani territory. This buffer zone between Nagorno-Karabakh and
Azerbaijan helps maintain a relative peace in the region.
