Baku is doing its best to make us forget how the ceasefire agreement
was reached. Ilham Aliyev is glorifying his father, at the same
time forgetting to implement the documents adopted with the latter's
consent, one of which clearly states that "The Karabakh conflict should
be solved exceptionally in a peaceful way," former Russian Co-Chair of
the OSCE Minsk Group Vladimir Kazimirov told a press conference today.
In an article published by Moscow-based "Regnum" agency on the
20th anniversary of the ceasefire Kazimirov presented an interesting
statistics, which he introduced to reporters today. "During the war the
Azerbaijani side frustrated 20 peace initiatives, while the Armenian
parties denied only four," he said.
According to Kazimirov, Azerbaijan's axe-policy only harms the
process. However, the former co-chair congratulated Armenia, Artsakh
and Azerbaijan on the 20th anniversary of the ceasefire, since it
has at least managed to prevent mass bloodshed.
Kazimirov said everything should be done to resolve the conflict in
a peaceful way. "We must work towards reinforcement of peace," he said.
The ex-mediator is confident that "we are closer to peace than war,"
despite Azerbaijan's bellicose rhetoric and the tension at the line
of contact.
To what extent will Armenia's membership in the Eurasian Economic
Union affect the Artsakh conflict? According to Kazimirov, these are
two different processes.
As for the deployment of peacekeepers at the Artsakh conflict zone,
Kazimirov said the issue is not on the agenda today.
