is the transformation of the armistice into final and stable peace’, NKR

anniversary of the armistice established in Nagorno Karabakh conflict zone
on May 12, 1994 under Russia’s mediation, De-Facto agency reports. In his
words, the cease-fire became the only considerable achievement in the
peaceful settlement process. According Masis Mayilian, `the maintenance of
the cease-fire in spite of separate cases of its violation is for most part
conditioned by the fact that all the three parties to conflict put
signatures to the agreement.’ Masis Mayilian expressed satisfaction with the
stabilization of the situation on the Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan armed
forces’ contact-line for the recent period. According to him, `considerable
role in this played the firm position of international mediators, who stated
on the inadmissibility of aggravating the situation, as well as the regular
monitoring of the demarcation line conducted by the OSCE Mission’.
