YEREVAN (YERKIR) – When commenting on statement of Russian Defense
Minister Sergey Ivanov that the sending peacekeepers to Nagorno
Karabakh is possible in the air of Mayak radio publicist Yegor
Kholmogorov noted, `Any promises of international mediation cherish
first of all Baku’s ears.’

`If international and not only Russian peacekeepers actually appear in
the conflict zone, moreover, if they try to return anything against
the will of Armenians, this may result in deconservation of the
conflict and turning it into an actual one,’ the journalists thinks.

`What can cause a serious chain of consequences ` Armenia interferes
with the clash between Karabakh and Azerbaijan, Turkey collides
Armenia, union of Russia and Armenia, NATO treaties will come into
effect simultaneously,’ Kholmogorov. `In general, any attempt to
disturb the conflict will trigger a diplomatic and military crisis,’
the expert is sure.

In his words, it is «one thing» if Russian peacekeepers
`correctly build into the situation in the conflict zone’. `Another
thing’ is `if an international contingent loudly arrives to
`peacekeep’. `The world ahs already seen what this peacekeeping may
end up in. And not only in Yugoslavia¦’ the Russian publicist
believes.
