YEREVAN (Yerkir)-The response by the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen to
the violent attack by the Azeri Armed Forces last week was inadequate
and aimed at appeasing Azerbaijan, said Armenian Revolutionary
Federation Political Affairs Director Giro Manoyan Wednesday at
a briefing.
He characterized the attack, during which four Armenian soldiers
were killed on the frontline, as Azeri President Ilham Aliyev's way
of exerting pressure on the parties involved with the peace process.
"Aliyev is trying to show that he is dissatisfied with the negotiation
process and can resort to other means, such as military action, if
the talks do not yield his desired results," said Manoyan, adding
that the resulting reaction from the OSCE Minsk Group was in some
ways an encouragement for Aliyev to continue his modus operandi of
threats of violence.
The continued silence by the international community on this issue
will only give the green-light to Azerbaijan to continue its policies
of warmongering, he said, urging a more resolute approach by Armenian
authorities on the Karabakh matter.
Armenia should undertake serious and concentrated diplomatic efforts
in the realm of the Karabakh conflict resolution process, without
compromising its options to respond to military attacks, said Manoyan
who pointed out that Armenia should actively oppose Azerbaijan's
anti-Armenian policies and take steps to better articulate the true
essence of the Karabakh question.
Manoyan added that while Azerbaijan was taking myriad steps to address
the Karabakh conflict resolution process, Armenia has not yet made
advances in conjunction with the current peace process.
