U.S. co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group James Warlick made a reported
on settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict at the Carnegie Fund
in Washington yesterday. The report has six basic principles: the
intermediate status of Nagorno-Karabakh should be temporary and both
sides need commitment to determine the final status; the territory of
the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomy uncontrolled by Baku should be given an
intermediate status that would guarantee security and self-governance;
occupied territories should be put back under Azerbaijani control and
sovereignty should be restored; a corridor should connect Armenia and
Nagorno-Karabakh, but it should not cover all the Lachin District;
refugees should have the right to return to their lands; the peace
process needs international guarantees for security, peacekeeping.
Asim Mollazadeh, a member of the Azerbaijani parliament and political
analyst, said that the principles violated the international norms. He
emphasized that the territories were occupied, but Warlick abstained
from any reproaches towards the aggressor. The political analyst
reminded that the UNSC had passed resolutions for de-occupation
of Azerbaijani territories, but nothing had been done for their
realization. Mollazadeh urged the U.S. to take more decisive actions
to settle the conflict.
Alexander Markov, director of the Armenian branch of the Institute
of CIS Countries, emphasized that some of Warlick's points seemed
more like a wish. They need approval of other co-chairs. Reframing
the same unaccepted principles will not bring the bring the peace
process any closer to conclusion, in his opinion.
Andrey Petrov, head of the analytical section for the post-Soviet
space of the Lomonosov MSU, said that Warlick's principles coincided
with the 5-year-old Madrid Principles and made no contribution to
realization of the latter. However, Warlick reaffirmed commitment to
finding a solution. The reiterated principles were announced on the
eve of the 20th anniversary of the Bishkek Cease-Fire Protocol.
