Azerbaijan seeks to change the format of OSCE MG, says political
scientist Hrant Melik-Shakhnazaryan.
He told media on Tuesday that official Baku tries to involve Turkey
in the OSCE Minsk Group to resolve the Karabakh conflict in its favor
and increase Ankara's influence in the South Caucasus. He said that
USA and Russia fight for the influence in the region, but Russia is
responsible for security in the region.
To recall subdivisions of the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan made another
attempt of sabotage attack on the state border of Armenia near villages
of Berdavan and Chinar on June 4 and 5. The enemy was rebuffed and
forced to retreat. Three Armenian soldiers were killed as a result:
Hrach Sargsyan, Zohrab Balabekyan and Karen Davtyan. Another 5 were
wounded.
Melik-Shakhnazaryan said that provocations by the Azerbaijani armed
forces and deaths of Armenian soldiers were "dedicated" to Hillary
Clinton's visit to the region. "Azerbaijan tries its best to show
that the conflict is not frozen and there is no status-quo. Over long
years the world community is persuading Azerbaijan to remain committed
to peaceful resolution of the conflict, but useless," he said. The
political scientist forecasts growth of aggression by Azerbaijan on
the threshold of the presidential elections in Artsakh on July 19.
Incumbent president of NKR Bako Sahakyan, ex-deputy defense minister
Vitaly Balasanyan, pro-rector of the Stepanakert branch of the State
Agrarian University of Armenia for Research Arkady Soghomonyan and
unemployed Valery Khachatryan will run for the president on July 19.
All them are self-nominated and non-party men.
