PanARMENIAN.Net - Over 10 OSCE Minsk Group member states seek active
involvement in the settlement of Karbakh conflict, the vice- speaker
of Azeri parliament Bakhar Muradova stated, noting Baku's support
for the initiative.
Clearly, involvement of countries which had no previous experience
in Karabakh settlement, as opposed to Russia, France and U.S., will
confuse the process, serving as a major throwback to further protract
the conflict.
Azerbaijan, which never stops weaponry purchase, still hopeful to
resume the war, will be the only side to benefit from the situation.
However, Azerbaijan continues its illogical line, with Muradova's
statement running counter to her previous remarks. In reply to
urges of removing France as OSCE MG co-chair, she noted, "any
change of co-chairmanship format will delay the settlement. The
EU or other international organizations, capable of affecting
the negotiation process, will be able to do it without replacing
France. Its replacement isn't essential. Over the past period, the 3
co-chairing countries gained the necessary experience. Replacement of
a co-chair with a country, unaware of the situation, will complicate
the situation."
The vice- speaker seems to be having trouble with deciding whether
Baku needs involvement of a dozen of countries in Karbakh settlement
or is concerned over the replacement of even one co-chair. In short,
Azerbaijan keeps jumping out of the frying-pan into the fire, trying
to present itself as a supporter of a rapid settlement of Karabakh
issue, while secretly working to protract the conflict.
"Involvement of other countries and structures in Karabakh settlement
will trigger further diplomatic commotion," Strategic Studies Institute
deputy director general, political analyst Andrey Areshev said. And
a commotion of that scale will take a long time to dispel.
