News.Az interviews Asim Mollazade, member of the Azerbaijani
Parliamentary Committee on international and interparliamentary
relations.
What contribution can Ireland, which will chair OSCE next year,
give in the regulation of the Karabakh conflict?
Talking about replacements of chairmanships in OSCE and effects of
these countries in the regulation of Karabakh conflict, it should be
noted that as a rule, states, before starting their chairmanship,
give statements that they will pay a special attention to frozen
conflicts in Europe. Unfortunately, as time goes by, these states
can't manage to achieve any progress in resolving frozen European
conflicts as being OSCE chair.
I consider that the main reason for this, first and foremost, is
disrespect of OSCE to its fundamental documents and wrong assessment
of aggressive activities by this international organization. This
leads to the fact that Armenia, imitating its long-term involvement
in negotiations, today even refuses this activity and doesn't give
any opportunity to launch some new peaceful process. Therefore, OSCE
first of all should pay respect to its own fundamental documents so
that countries involved in conflicts should expect effective measures
from this international organization.
What kind of measures do you think Ireland, as OSCE chairman, may take
to make some progress in resolving frozen conflicts including Karabakh?
The Karabakh conflict is now in an unprecedented situation i.e. one
OSCE member has occupied the territory of the other. So, Ireland as
OSCE chairman should pay attention to this moment in his activity. I
mean, the new chairman should pay attention on how similar relations
were formed with the aggressive member compared to the one who
underwent aggression. If Ireland wants to resolve conflicts, it
should understand that these facts are major obstacles on the path
that could lead to peace.
Acting OSCE chairman, and Lithuanian Foreign Minister Audronius
Ažubalis, summing up the chairmanship of his country in this
organization, stated that certain success was reached in Vilnius
in resolving protracted conflicts. What success could be included
to the service report of Lithuania about the progress to regulate
the conflicts?
Lithuania, during its chairmanship at OSCE, in some way tries to
pay attention to the settlement of the conflicts. Moreover, the
country's foreign minister paid visits to conflicting countries and
gave statements about these conflicts. However, as we know, Lithuania
chairing OSCE couldn't make any available changes to regulate these
conflicts. One of the reasons for this seems to be that OSCE Minsk
Group doesn't get seriously involved in regulating Karabakh conflict.
All of these don't make any hope to expect that the conflicts will
be resolved on the basis of norms of the international law.
To what extent the format of OSCE can become an international platform
where it would be possible to resolve conflicts including Karabakh?
As we know, the OSCE mandate for conducting mediatory mission in the
regulation of the Karabakh conflict was presented by the UN Security
Council. Of course, this process gradually involves EU, as well. In
other words, the progress can be reached not by the format of this
or other international organizations, but decisions they make.
Unfortunately, these organizations don't make effective decisions.
It should be noted that international organizations, the UN in
particular don't implement their own resolutions on Karabakh conflict.
I underline that all of them are because of legal nihilism and because
norms of the international law are not effective. Legal nihilisms in
such cases may cause serious threats for the renewal of wars including
Karabakh conflict.
