SERGEY KAPINOS: HOW ONE CAN MAKE A DECISION IN PLACE OF NKR?

"The OSCE Parliamentary Assembly is not the body for encouraging and
providing the Karabakh conflict with a settlement. Related to the
issue of Karabakh are OSCE Minsk Group and Personal Representative
of the Chairman-in-Office Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk, who are
negotiating resolution to the conflict and who are responsible to
answer the questions about the process," said Chief of the OSCE
Office in Yerevan, Ambassador Sergey Kapinos when asked by Aysor's
correspondent to comment the statement by Special Representative on
Nagorno-Karabakh Goran Lennmarker.
Goran Lennmarker, in particular, said that Nagorno-Karabakh's
involvement in talks is not reasonable at the moment, as both
current-sitting and former presidents of Armenia are from NKR.
"This is not the issue for office's respond; however, as an individual
person I can say that at the early stages of the settlement to the
conflict, Nagorno-Karabakh was really a part of talks. Actually, the
1994 Act on Cessation of Hostilities was signed by representatives of
Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh. That was a four-sided document," said
Sergey Kapinos adding about second-sitting president of Armenia Robert
Kocharian's "sort of combination of interests of Armenia and Karabakh."
Ambassador Sergey Kapinos said that the OSCE MG co-chairs in the
framework of their visits necessarily pay visits to Nagorno-Karabakh
and take into account Stepanakert's position.
"In my private opinion, it's impossible to make a final decision
without Nagorno-Karabakh's participation. How is it possible to make
a decision in place of Nagorno-Karabakh? Anyway, on a certain stage
the format will be reconsidered, I think," he said.
