ArmInfo. ANCA Chairman Ken Hachikian expressed "profound
disappointment" today at the unreasonable pressure being applied by
the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk
Group Co-Chairs, which could threaten the viability of Armenia and
Nagorno Karabagh.
The concern was expressed in a July 14, 2009, letter to PresidentObama,
where Hachikian noted that the Minsk Group's "heavy handed"approach
to secure unilateral and dangerous concessions byArmenians regarding
the Nagorno Karabagh conflict would "imperil the security of Armenia,
the Nagorno Karabagh Republic (NKR) andthe Armenian people; increase
the prospects of renewed Azerbaijani aggression; and undermine the
ability of the actual parties to this conflict to reach a truly
lasting and durable peace."
Hachikian went on to argue that the Nagorno Karabagh Republic's
participation in the peace process is fundamental to the success
of the endeavor. "As a direct party to this conflict, the primary
victim of Azerbaijan's aggression, and a full stakeholder in the
search for regional peace, the Nagorno Karabagh Republic must be
a full and equal participant in all aspects of the peace process,"
explained Hachikian. Similar concerns were addressed in letters sent
to French Ambassador to the U.S. Pierre Vimont and Russian Federation
Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
