February 28, 2013 | 17:28
One of the main priorities of Ukraine's chairmanship in the OSCE
is intensifying of mediatory efforts into finding solution to the
protracted conflicts in the CIS area, Ukrainian political expert
believes.
"Azerbaijani officials more often call to settle the conflict
by force, the intensity of armed clashes and shootings increase,
Baku also voices threats to shoot down civilian aircrafts. It is
unacceptable and is threatening regional security," Oleg Smirnov,
analyst from Politika analytic center told Analitika.at.ua.
He noted that Karabakh conflict has obviously become a lever of the
major geopolitical players to influence regional situation, using it
to solve tactical and strategic tasks.
"In this context, efforts of the official Kiev, as an OSCE chairman,
are aimed at strengthening peace in the Caucasus, maintaining
ceasefire and solution to the conflict based on the international law,"
expert said.
On Tuesday the media hall of Ukrainian RegioNews agency hosted a
roundtable discussion on Ukraine's priorities in the OSCE. Organizers
also presented "Common genocide. Sumgait, February 1988" documentary
film.
