/PanARMENIAN.Net/ At a public meeting in Vienna on supporting the
peaceful settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, with the
participation of public representatives from Azerbaijan, Armenia,
and Nagorno Karabakh, OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairman from France
Bernard Fassier stated that "a new war can be initiated both by the
recognition of Nagorno Karabakh as an independent state, which isn't
done even by Armenia, and any attempt of unconditional return of this
territory to Azerbaijan". What is your assessment of the discourse
of the OSCE MG Co-Chairman from France?
"We flatly reject the statement that a new war can be initiated also
by the recognition of Nagorno Karabakh as an independent state. A new
war can be initiated by the tolerance of the world policy centers
towards the warmonger, leading to an ironic situation that the
direct threats to peace by official Baku, in fact, don't result in
tangible political or legal responsibility. This policy will only
strengthen the Azerbaijani elite's conviction of its own impunity,
which is just the basic threat to the regional peace," NKR Minister
of Foreign Affairs Georgi Petrosyan stated.
"In due time, Azerbaijan's aggression against the Nagorno Karabakh
Republic became, in a greater extend, possible due to the international
community's recognition in 1991-1992 the right of Azerbaijan to
independence and non-recognition of the similar right of Nagorno
Karabakh, although the Nagorno Karabakh Republic and the Azerbaijani
Republic were formed from the former Azerbaijani SSR, basing on
general principles of law. Continuation of this policy and especially
any opposition to the recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic
represent a serious threat to peace and stability in the region,
as they encourage the Azerbaijani party for false imagination that
they can get away with a new war gamble.
In this regard, we consider it important to emphasize that the world
policy centers' refusal of the formula of "parity approach" to the
parties' actions will not only allow strengthening our confidence
of their ability to fairly and impartially assess the situation,
but will also
