THE OSCE MG SUPPORT ARMENIA - ROUNDTABLE

February 10, 2015 Tuesday
There is not any progress in the settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani
conflict, and the OSCE Minsk Group is not a mediator, but a
messenger. This idea sounded a refrain on 10 February roundtable on
the topic: "The OSCE Minsk Group: hopelessness or limited mandate",
organized by the Society of Humanitarian Studies.
"The settlement of the Karabakh conflict is a hostage of the OSCE
Minsk Group. It operates under a UN mandate, but does not comply with
UN Security Council resolutions, said political scientist Mubariz
Ahmedoglu.
Experts consider it important to change the format of the Institute
co-chairing the Minsk Group and its composition. There was a need for
representation in the OSCE Minsk Group in Germany and Turkey. The
agenda of the settlement of the conflict should be determined in
accordance with UN Security Council resolutions.
"The activities of the OSCE Minsk Group is only aimed at reducing
the risk of war," said Ilgar Velizade. According to him, the Minsk
Group is unable to change the status quo. "If it cannot do this,
it must change the format of the OSCE Minsk Group," said the head
of the Society for Humanitarian Studies Avaz Hasanov. However, some
experts believe that the change in MG format will not work.
"The Minsk Group is managed by three countries - the US, France and
Russia. If these countries do not want to settle, then there is no
point in changing the format, increasing the number of co-chairs,
" said a member of parliament, political scientist Rasim Musabekov.
"After the meeting of the presidents in Kazan (June 2011) there
are not any new proposals. Now there are no negotiations, and
conversations. Azerbaijan wants to specific line-item discussion on
the peace agreement. However, it implies territorial integrity and
liberation of the occupied territories. Therefore, Armenia delays
the talks," said the analyst.
Political analyst Zardusht Alizadeh believes that Armenia is supported
by countries co-chairs: " from Russia - the military support , from
America - financial, and from France - political. And Azerbaijan is
offered to compromise with Armenia," said Alizadeh.
"International law - are the UN resolution. Within the country it
provides for the recognition of voting rights, freedoms. You cannot
win surrendering native lands, and
be engaged in trade oil and gas in Baku. It is impossible to liberate
Karabakh by the current information policy, the current programs
of Azerbaijani television. Azerbaijan does not want to settle
the conflict. If this were the case, then the NGO's would not be
suppressed," said Alizade. -03C-
