/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Commenting upon the visit of the co-chairs, he
announced: "If they had new proposition, they would have already made
it long ago. For the moment they try to expedite Azerbaijan in the
process of the conflict regulation at the expense of giving away a
part of the Azeri territory to the Armenians."
Assessing the statement of President Ilham Aliyev, made last Friday,
when the President of the country set his deadlines, after which he
promised to review the policy of Azerbaijan in Karabakh issue, V.
Guluzade announced: "Ilham Aliyev has in fact warned the OSCE Minsk
Group co-chairs saying that he would fire them. With these words he
expressed his dissatisfaction with the OSCE Minsk Group's activity.
By the end of 2008 the President wants to have a reasonable answer
from the co-chairs regarding the possibility of a peaceful resolution
of the process, after which Azerbaijan will decide which mission it
will entrust the further development of the peacemaking process.
Though it's not the first time that the President of Azerbaijan
has made harsh statements, which put under question his ability
to sufficiently understand the reality, "the dismissal of the Minsk
Group" is something completely new. To all appearances the income from
the petrodollars, the Turkey's support and Europe's interest in gas
"convinced" him in his rectitude and power. According to the former
OSCE Minsk Group from Russia Vladimir Kazimirov, such announcements
of the President of Azerbaijan are not serious and it is simply funny
to make any comments upon them.
The Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan are introduced the
documents on conflict regulation, which should be acceptable for both
parties. The OSCE U.S.
envoy Matthew Bryza said to the journalists in Yerevan. According to
him, the Presidents carefully study the submitted document. "We have
been to Baku, where we met the President of Azerbaijan and discussed
the document agreed by us and the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of both
countries, a similar discussion was held in Yerevan with President
Robert Kocharyan. We are also intending to visit Stepanakert to have a
better image of the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh, afterwards we will
return to Baku. Now both parties involved in the conflict have a very
good chance to come to an agreement," mentioned Matthew Bryza. The
American diplomat expressed his hopes for the possibility to reach at
least an oral agreement upon the document, "We understand that it will
take time, and it won't happen tomorrow, but maybe it could happen in
a couple of months," said the American mediator. The truth is though,
that the American diplomat mentioned that he has some kind of careful
optimism towards the agreement.
By the way, the story with "the dismissal" is very much alike
Turkey's refusal to allow the U.S. troops to Iraq in 2003. Later,
the very Ankara, not being able to fight the Kurds, turned to the
Washington. And if today the USA says that Turkey shouldn't interfere
in the relationship between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev had
better follow this advice instead of threatening OSCE Minsk Group,
which does its best, and allow the international organizations visit
Nagorno-Karabakh the way these organizations desire, i.e. through
Yerevan.
