The latest statement of the OSCE Minsk Group co- chairs was
unprecedented, as, for the first time ever, the mediators addressed
one of the parties to the conflict with a call and even demand, Eduard
Sharmazanov, Spokesperson of the Republican Party of Armenia, Vice
Speaker of the Armenian Parliament, told ArmInfo.
"In their statement, the mediators took Baku down a peg for the first
time ever. In January, Azerbaijan suffered defeat both in the
battlefield - in its own raids - and in the diplomatic field,"
Sharmazanov said.
To recall, in their latest statement the mediators, particularly,
said: "The rise in violence that began last year must stop for
confidence to be restored and progress to be made in the
Nagorno-Karabakh peace process. We called on Azerbaijan to observe its
commitments to a peaceful resolution of the conflict. We also call on
Armenia to take all measures to reduce tensions. All sides must abide
by the terms of the ceasefire agreement. Violence undermines efforts
to bring about peace."
