PanARMENIAN.Net - Masis Mailyan, the chairman of the council on
foreign policy and security, former NKR Deputy Foreign Minister,
says it will be difficult to reach an agreement on basic principles
for the Karabakh conflict settlement in Kazan.
"As for the upcoming meeting in Kazan, taking into consideration the
declared approaches of the conflicting parties, the reconciliation of
basic principles and compromise decision is a rather complicate task.
There are not objective prerequisites for it. Under the current
conditions, the so-called basic principles can be signed only due
to strong international pressure," Mailyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net
reporter.
According to him, the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries are trying
to prove viability of outdated Helsinki principles, "which this very
countries, to put it mildly, avoided for the past years numerously."
He noted that there are new precedents and international legal
reality, which should be considered by mediators in the Karabakh
conflict settlement.
Mailyan also commented on conversation of the OSCE Minsk Group
Co-Chairs with journalists prior to their departure from Stepanakert.
Mailyan said the mediators' statements contained two basic messages -
unacceptability of the problem resolution through the use of force and
necessity of soonest reconciliation and signing of Basic or Madrid
Principles and their elements. "Thus, the Co-chairs have repeated
their Presidents' stance voiced in Deauville," he concluded.
