We would like to find out whether the suggestions are in the interest
of Armenia, NKR and Azerbaijan.
The statements of RA And Azeri foreign Ministries made in response
to the OSCE MG joint statement testify how the authorities of both
countries represent the negotiation process to their peoples. RA
Foreign Ministry's statements do nor differ much from those made by
the OSCE MG co-chairs, while the Azeri officials obviously deny and
change points set up in the statement that are not in their interests,
particularly the referendum for the status of NKR, the special status
for Lachin and Kelbajar, etc. This means that Azerbaijan's position is
no realistic and it tries to sign the suggestions. On the contrary,
Armenia declared it's ready to sign the OSCE MG suggestions that are
based on mutual concessions. At the same time, the point of withdrawing
the Armenian forces from the 5 regions without defining the concrete
terms for the referendum of NKR's status and Azerbaijan's commitments
to NKR is quite dangerous for the Armenian side.
As for Azerbaijan, if not the extreme demands of its authorities,
they would realize that they get the more than the Armenian side
through the OSCE MG suggestions. The Armenian side only receives the
prospect for de-jure recognition of NKR. Besides, the Armenian side
has to return the regions liberated in the war. As for Azerbaijan,
it returns its territories without any war.
