The Azerbaijani agencies and Russian Regnum reported without
referring to the primary source that Andrzej Kasprzyk, the personal
representative to the OSCE CiO, has announced that "commission of
the airport in Khankendi" does not favor the negotiations.
Andrzej Kasprzyk will have to explain why he calls Stepanakert
"Khankendi" and why he contradicts himself regarding the opening of
the airport. Or Kasprzyk will have to punish once the Azerbaijani
journalists who disseminate provocative information.
Kasprzyk has been the personal representative to rotating OSCE CiOs
for already many years on the Karabakh issue. He has an office in
Stepanakert where he goes frequently, without asking for Azerbaijan's
permission. He has a pair of field assistants and a limited mandate.
At least, Kasprzyk has no right to investigate border incidents and
other cases that may affect the settlement of the Karabakh issue.
Most probably, his mission is to inform the OCSE CiOs replacing
each other every six months on the Karabakh issue and keep them from
populist steps.
In fact, Kasprzyk could not make such a statement because the co-chairs
had announced earlier in summer their support to opening of the airport
and even set to sway Azerbaijan. However, Baky disagrees and threatens
to take measures. Already threats come from Karabakh that if Azerbaijan
tries to strike a civilian airplane, a large-scale war will start.
It is possible that Kasprzyk has stated something like this to hint
that the OSCE has been unable to bend Baku. Perhaps Baku has put
forth this condition for the resumption of talks. However, it was
Karabakh's turn immediately.
Official Stepanakert has to react to this news both regarding the use
of the place name "Khankendi" and the content of the statement. If
Kasprzyk said this, the OSCE cannot continue to act as a mediator of
the Karabakh issue. It means the process of settlement is not primarily
aimed at the protection of the rights of people living in the region
but satisfaction of the demands of the Azeri-Turkish tandem. By the
way, recently Turkey also has stated something against the airport in
Stepanakert. And Armenia has already threatened to close its airspace
for the countries hindering operation of flights in Karabakh.
