    "DEJA VU" AT SOCHI PRESIDENTIAL MEETING

    PanARMENIAN.Net - On January 23, Sochi hosted yet another meeting
    between Armenian and Azeri presidents mediated by Russia. As usual,
    the three presidents issued one of their neutral statements, with
    mediators noting progress in positions of conflicting parties, while
    the experts on each side went on to stress the diplomatic success of
    their countries' leadership.

    Recent Sochi-hosted meeting strikes one as a deja vu, with the
    joint presidential statement once again urging for investigation of
    incidents at contact line. However, the continued deaths and injuries
    over Azeri ceasefire violation and retaliation of Armenian forces
    came as a proof of the inconsistency of the statement.

    According to January 2012 statement, "Presidents of Azerbaijan,
    Armenia, and Russia took into consideration the OSCE Minsk Group
    co-chairs report on investigation of incidents at contact line and
    instructed relevant bodies to continue working in this direction."

    Thus, until the co-chairs pressure Baku into pulling Azeri snipers
    from contact line and abandon subversion attempts, losses on both
    sides are inevitable.

    OSCE MG and the international community as well show remarkable
    restraint towards Azerbaijan. The official Baku being the only party
    keeping up the military rhetoric, while continuing to violate the
    Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE), the mediators,
    curiously enough, call on both parties to abandon bellicose statements
    and promote peaceful settlement. (Any example of Armenian official
    threatening to start a war?)

    Taking the connivance of mediators as silent approval, Baku continues
    preparing the Azeri society for a war.
