After the meeting with the Azerbaijani foreign minister the OSCE Minsk
Group issued a press release urging Azerbaijan to observe its
commitments to the peace process.
This is the first such statement in the history of the Minsk Group.
Unlike usual "parity" statements, this one clearly states that
Azerbaijan has been the initiator of the recent tension. Armenia is
urged to take steps to alleviate tension.
At the end of December and in early January Azerbaijan's activity
increased, and the Armenian armed forces counterattacked. As a result,
the Armenian side advanced to new positions. The military command of
Armenia announced that it will no longer be in the defensive role and
will deliver pre-emptive blows.
The Armenian armed forces successfully carried out actions in several
directions. Serzh Sargsyan announced that the Armenian side has
actually adopted a new tactics. Seiran Ohanyan statedthat the Armenian
army may turn the territory of Azerbaijan to a hot spot, and his
advisor announced that the Armenian side can inflict so many losses on
Azerbaijan to achieve change of regime there.
>From the political point of view, these are knowledgeable statements
and are perhaps the only way of curbing Azerbaijan because this is the
only way of imposing peace on Baku.
The co-chairs have communicated to Azerbaijan's foreign minister that
Azerbaijan's only hope is the Minsk Group format, hinting that Baku
has taken steps to change the current format. Minsk Group gave
Azerbaijan a diplomatic slap. "We reminded the Minister of our
mandates and expressed concern about voices critical of the ongoing
negotiation process, the role of the Minsk Group Co-Chairs, and the
duties of OSCE monitors," the press release states.
The actions of the Armenian army following August 2014 developments
demonstrate the political, military and diplomatic effect of making
clear and crucial decisions that stem from one's own interests. The
whole world appreciates them and their implementation.
How many such cases are needed to have such decisions made in other
spheres of our life?
