YEREVAN, JANUARY 11, ARMENPRESS: In the connection of the Karabakh
conflict settlement, 2014 will be the year to check the watches. The
sides will try to preserve the ceasefire regime and the most important
is that in the forthcoming future no military actions will be carried
out, though in the negotiation process as well no changes will be
registered. The Deputy Director of the Caucasus Institute Sergey
Minasyan told about it to Armenpress, adding that the primary goal of
both the meeting of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Armenia and
Azerbaijan in January and the further meetings of the President of
Armenia Serzh Sargsyan and President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev will
be to keep the fragile peace.
Concerning the bill, submitted recently to the State of California
Parliament to recognize the independence of the Nagorno Karabakh
Republic, the political analyst stated that even the adoption of the
bill cannot bring changes in the resolution of the issue. `The process
is not negative, though there will be no drastic stages. This bill can
have a positive impact especially in the information propaganda war.
The recognition of the independence of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic
is exclusively connected with the political and military situation. In
the conflict resolution issue it is impossible to expect developments,
as long as political and military components are available', - said
Sergey Minasyan.
According to the political analyst, Azerbaijan must first refuse the
militant rhetoric and making statements on restarting the war, as well
as accept that it will come to no result with an arms race. `Maybe in
that case some changes will be registered in the NKR issue. But as
long as the risk persists, even the recognition of the independence of
the Nagorno Karabakh Republic cannot change the situation. And the
goal remains the only one - to keep the fragile peace', - stated
Sergey Minasyan.
After two years interval the meeting of the President of Armenia Serzh
Sargsyan and President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev was held in Vienna
on November 19 2013. The Armenian President evaluated it to be normal.
The meeting was conducted with the participation of the Co-Chairs of
the OSCE Minsk Group Igor Popov (Russia), James Warlick (US), Jacques
Fore (France) and Personal Representative of the OSCE
Chairman-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk, as well as Edward Nalbandyan and
Elmar Mamedyarov, the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Armenia and
Azerbaijan. During the meeting the sides agreed to give an impetus to
the further negotiations directed to the peaceful settlement of the
NKR issue and instructed the foreign ministers, along with the
co-chairs, to continue working together on a just and peaceful
resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict on the basis what has been
already achieved. One of the presidents' instructions was the meeting
of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Armenia and Azerbaijan on
December 4 in Kiev in the framework of the OSCE Foreign Ministers'
Council session. The next meeting of Edward Nalbandyan and Elmar
Mamedyarov will be held in the end of January in Paris.
