Baku, Fineko/abc.az. Within the framework of the G20 summit in the
Mexican town of Los Cabos the presidents of the United States,
France and Russia passed an appeal to the leaders of Azerbaijan
and Armenia on the occasion of Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over
Nagorno Garabagh conflict. This appeal, to put it mildly, is not
embodiment of the hopes of the peoples involved in the conflict -
they were suggested to continue to suffer.
"We regret that the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan failed to
take decisive steps to which our countries have called on them in a
joint statement issued May 26, 2011 in Deauville," says the appeal
of the presidents of the co-chair countries of the OSCE Minsk Group
on Garabagh conflict.
MG co-chair countries' heads urged the presidents of Armenia and
Azerbaijan to fulfill the commitments to accelerate the harmonization
of the basic principles of the Garabagh conflict, covered by the
statement from 23 January 2012 made in Sochi; refrain from using
military force to resolve the conflict and use fully MG co-chairs'
mediation assistance.
"The use of military force will not lead to settlement of the conflict,
but only prolong the suffering and misery, to which peoples who
live in this region are exposed. Only peaceful settlement through
negotiations would find a way out of this situation and ensure the
supply for the future and prosperity of the region," the co-chair
countries' joint statement says.
Yesterday, deputy prime minister Ali Hasanov urged these countries
to determine finally their attitude towards the conflict and take
effective steps to resolve it. Instead, the co-chairs have proposed
only the preservation of the notorious Status Quo.
