/PanARMENIAN.Net/ «According to the resolution of the OSCE Budapest Summit
in 1994, the sending of international forces to sustain peace to the zone of
the Nagorno Karabakh conflict is conditioned by the signing of an agreement
between all parties to conflict,» stated Deputy Foreign Minister of the
Nagorno Karabakh Republic Masis Mailian, when commenting on the reports of a
number of media that Ukraine is ready to send its peacekeeping contingent to
the zone of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, reported the Press Service of the
NKR Foreign Ministry. At that the Deputy FM noted that under the conditions
of absence of a peace treaty discussion of the details of the peacekeeping
operation, specifically, the possible composition of the peacekeeping forces
is premature. In his words, all parties to conflict, including the NKR
leaders, should come to an agreement over the matter. Masis Mailian noted
that the cease-fire at the Azeri-Karabakh front has lasted 11 years only due
to the balance of power between the parties.
