/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Nagorno Karabakh conflict should be solved by the
parties involved in the conflict first of all, while the superpowers can
merely have an influence for them finding common points. Former Co-Chair of
the OSCE Minsk Group Vladimir Kazimirov stated it when answering a question
why the three superpowers: Russia, US and France have not managed to solve
the dispute of two small countries – Azerbaijan and Armenia, Day.az
reported. In his words, there are no serious talks without concessions.
However Presidents have not started making the society ready for these, just
the opposite – for many years they assured they will gain and not give.
`Armenians should understand they have to return the territories and
Azerbaijan should understand that it is necessary to solve the issue of the
status of Nagorno Karabakh. But the two countries are engaged not in what is
necessary, but in deceiving themselves. They should engage themselves is
strengthening the cease-fire regime and reconciling. Azerbaijan has to give
up militant terminology, while Armenia – from absurd ideas of `liberated’,
i.e. occupied territories of Azerbaijan. I have been stating for several
years already that participation of Nagorno Karabakh in the talks will only
benefit Azerbaijan. However, Baku agrees to it in no way. At the same time
considering that someone from the outside will put press and the problem
will solve automatically is naive,’ V. Kazimirov emphasized.
