IN CASE OF RESUMPTION OF MILITARY OPERATIONS RESPONSE OF
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY RELATING TO INITIATOR OF BLOODSHED WILL BE
STRICT
YEREVAN, MARCH 7. ARMINFO. in the case of resumption of military
operations in the issue of settlement of the Karabakh conflict the
response of the international community regarding the initiator of the
bloodshed will be strict. Former Cochairman of OSCE Minsk Group from
Russia Vladimir Kazimirov stated answering the question of the daily
“Yerkir”.
According to him, not only Russia, but all the cocochairing states
of the OSCE Minsk Group, majority of other states and international
organizations not only won’t they approve the actions of the
initiators of the new bloodshed, but take stricter position. For
example, even David Atkinson marked what position the Council of
Europe will take, Vladimir Kazimirov said. Speaking of the reality
of threats of resumption of military operations the Russian expert
noted that the manifestations of revanchism should be vied not taking
into account the obstinate attempts of Baku to solve the Karabakh
conflict by force in 1990s. The result turned to be the opposite to the
expectations, and the parties had to declare cease-fire in 1994 without
any pre-conditions. But somebody took it as a induced pause. The fact
of threats to resolve the conflict by force – it is still an internal
political bluff, constant signal of dissatisfaction, reluctance to
resign themselves to losses and to make serious concessions.
The threats are against series of international obligations of
Azerbaijan, they make an ass of it. But one should not ignore the
revanchism in Baku, especially at official levels. It is harmful,
it hinders to resume serious negotiations. The manifestations of
revanchism have become such obsessive that it is high time the
international organizations to respond it. It already requires
special examination and investigations, Vladimir Kazimirov stressed.
In his opinion, he considers the guarantee of security of the people
of Nagorny Karabakh the guarantees of four or even five levels: –
obligations of all the parties of the conflict to solve all the moot
points exceptionally by peace; obligations of the adversarial party
(grounded demilitarization of all liberated districts right up to
determination and coming into force of final status of Nagorny
Karabakh); – own potentialities of Nagorny Karabakh (in a short
period to attract additional resources of Armenia if necessary); –
international guarantees corroborated by the resolution of UN Security
Council. Of course, we shall think also about guarantees of security
for Azerbaijani population who return to liberated territories. Despite
the demilitarization, the security of the residents of these districts
must be ensured surly at several levels, the Russian expert stated.
