    FIFTEEN YEARS SINCE THE CEASE-FIRE WAS SIGNED

    Fifteen years have passed after the large-scale hostilities ceased
    in Nagorno-Karabakh. The heavy defeats in 1993-1994 made Azerbaijan
    accept Russia's initiative of cease-fire on May 5, 1994 in Bishkek,
    the capital of Kazakhstan, which was followed by the signing of the
    cease-fire agreement in Moscow on May 12. The cease-fire has been
    maintained until now, and it is actually the only document regulating
    the Armenian-Azerbaijani relations.

    Speaking about the Bishkek and Moscow agreements, Representative
    of the Armenian National Congress David Shahnazaryan and ex-Foreign
    Minister Vahan Papazyan told a news conference today that those are
    important because they were signed by the representative of Nagorno
    Karabakh, i.e. Nagorno Karabakh was de facto recognized as a party
    to the conflict.

    Karabakh should change its stance of an offended child if it wants to
    participate in the talks, Vahan Papazyan said. David Shahnazaryan
    agreed with the opinion, adding: "If Nagorno Karabakh wants to
    participate and become a party to the talks, it should declare that
    the Armenian authorities do not represent them. There is no document
    higher than the decision on the trilateral format of the negotiations
    taken at the Budapest Summit. The authorities of Nagorno Karabakh
    should demand the restoration of the format if they wish so.0
