YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 11, ARMENPRESS: The International Crisis Group's
'Armenia and Azerbaijan: Preventing War' report was an attempt to
threaten Armenia with the danger of war, according to Arman Melikyan,
former foreign minister of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic. He said
today at a meeting with journalists that the authors of the report
are people, who always use falsification, disregard the issue of
Armenian refugees and show biased attitude when preparing reports.
The International Crisis Group has published recently a report, titled
'Armenia and Azerbaijan: Preventing War'. The report mentions that
'2010 saw little progress in the Minsk Group-mediated talks' and that
front-line clashes were escalated. The report says most Armenians
feel the risks of changing the status quo outweigh the benefits.
'They say they would have to withdraw without a real guarantee
of security, in return for a vaguely-defined "interim status" for
Nagorno-Karabakh that would include a promise of a vote on final
status but no indication of when it would occur and whether it could
lead to independence,' the report mentions. 'According to the report
this will bring to a war. However with this report they just tend to
threaten us with the danger of war,' the speaker said.
