On March 26 the resident representative of Armenia to the OSCE Arman
Kirakosyan addressed the OSCE Permanent Council. He noted that
Azerbaijan has used 120 mm firearm for the first time, which indicates
Baku's intention to perpetuate the confrontation.
Thereby Azerbaijan is thriving to shatter the three-party truce of
1994 and break the military balance. Ambassador Kirakosyan drew the
attention of the Minsk Group co-chairs and the personal representative
of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office to this dangerous development.
The ambassador quoted the statements of the Azerbaijani president and
minister of defense who lay out territorial claims to the capital and
territories of Armenia and speak bluntly about a military aggression
to resolve the Karabakh issue.
Note that the Azerbaijani minister of defense has recently called to
use every opportunity to kill at least one Armenian.
Earlier, the Armenian Ministry of Defense had announced that
Azerbaijan is using a new tactics in Karabakh - reconnaissance and a
"slow" war. The MFA has actually admitted that Azerbaijan used large
firearms. This is evidence to Baku's intentions to resume the conflict
and cause instability in the region.
In June the European Olympics will be held in Baku. On the backdrop of
the new military policy of Baku in the area of the Karabakh conflict
this is at least strange. Will the European athletes agree to travel
to a country the president of which encourages killing an Armenian
every day. Will they agree to compete in a country which uses large
firearms? Will they agree to come to a country which provokes the
Armenian side to take responding actions?
The statement of the Armenian ambassador to the OSCE could be seen as
a peculiar warning to the Europeans that the Armenian side will not
leave Baku's provocations unanswered. The Armenian side can use
similar arms in answer to the use of big diameter firearms, including
long-range ones. Meanwhile, Azerbaijan is not a big country and
Armenia has already warned that it has weapons to hit every single
point in Azerbaijan.
In his speech Ambassador Kirakosyan hinted that the Armenian forces
had to be tough on the Azerbaijani reconnaissance-in-force on March
19. This policy will continue, of course, unless the Europeans boycott
Azerbaijan by June.
