Nagorno-Karabakh peace process militarized, Armenian MP says
March 12, 2011 | 01:08
The international community represented by the OSCE Minsk Group has
too late come to realize the fact that the Nagorno-Karabakh peace
process has been militarized and threatens to fail. Therefore, it has
passed from declarations to practical steps and ordered investigation
into incidents on the line of contact, Styepa Safaryan, Chairman of
the Heritage parliamentary faction, told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
"Now, too late, the international community has come to realize it
cannot go on like this and concrete steps need to be made. Otherwise,
the negotiation process will fail and military actions are
inevitable," the MP said.
He doubts any impartial investigation can be conducted under the OSCE
Minsk Group`s auspices.
"If a really impartial investigation is conducted, it is enough for
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev to be brought before international
tribunal. But no impartial investigation will be conducted, and the
process will end in regular declarative statements by the OSCE Minsk
Group co-chairs," Safaryan said. He pointed out that the OSCE is able
to conduct an impartial investigation if it really wants to - the
organization has all the necessary mechanisms and experience.
The OSCE MG issued a statement instructing Personal Representative of
the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk to get
ready for investigations into incidents on the line of contact between
the Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan armed forces. With this end in
view, the OSCE MG Co-Chairs are to arrive in the region, official
Yerevan welcomed the initiative.
