The Azerbaijani authorities have reportedly pledged to refrain from
the threat or use of force against the civilian aircrafts of the
Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) Republic,
Summing up the outcomes of their visit to the South Caucasus region,
the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Ambassadors Robert Bradtke
(US), Jacques Faure (France) and Igor Popov (Russia), and the personal
representative of the OSCRE chairman-in-office, Andrzej Kasprzyk,
renewed assurances from both sides that they will reject any threat
or use of force against civil aircraft, pursue the matter through
diplomatic steps, and refrain from politicizing the issue.
According to a press release by the OSCE, the co-chairs reaffirmed
that operation of the airport cannot be used to support any claim of
a change in the status of Nagorno-Karabakh, and urged the sides to
act in accordance with international law and consistent with current
practice for flights over their territory.
The c-chairs also addressed their June 18 meeting in Paris with the
Foreign Ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan. They expressed their deep
concern over recent incidents along the frontlines, and reiterated
that the sides' political will to achieve peace is best demonstrated
by refraining from maximalist positions, respecting the 1994 ceasefire
agreement, and abstaining from hostile public rhetoric.
