"AZERBAIJAN IS FORCED TO SIGN PEACE AGREEMENT ACCEPTABLE FOR
DEFEATED COUNTRY BY THE AGENCY OF MINSK GROUP"
Democratic Azerbaijan
Aug 3, 2006
Organization of Garabagh Liberation holds that there are clear
attempts to state that Azerbaijan should compromise in the latest
statement of co-chairmen
Accordingly to news, recently group of Azerbaijani politician
scientists and human right activists informed about their support for
"Frame Agreements" prepared by OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen aiming at
regulation of Nagorno Garabagh conflict. Among persons who signed the
said agreement there are member of leaders’ staff of "Soros" Fund in
Azerbaijan, Rasim Musabekov, chairman of "Fund in the name of
Azerbaijan", Eldar Namazov, Zardusht Alizade, Arzu Abdullayeva, head
of "Turan" agency, Mehman Aliyev etc. Representatives of Organization
of Garabagh Liberation expressing their attitude to this issue
manifested their surprise regarding the fact that above persons
support such unacceptable proposal.
Organization of Garabagh Liberation states that Azerbaijan is forced
to sign peace agreement acceptable for defeated country by the agency
of OSCE Minsk Group. Leadership of the mentioned structure is against
the above "frame agreements", underlining that co-chairmen of Minsk
Group don’t take into consideration the fact of occupation of
Azerbaijani territories by Armenia: "Discussion of the status of the
regime of "Nagorni Garabagh Republic" is proposed as the principal
issue, instead of regulation of the conflict itself". At the same
time, there is no mention of international sanctions which should be
applied to Armenia".
Accordingly to Organization of Garabagh Liberation, "Frame
agreements" contain ambiguous attitude towards occupied territories.
"Thus, for some time Lachin and Kelbejer will be peculiar buffer zone
between Armenia and Nagorni Garabagh, on the territories of which
Armenia will place armed forces. Document also points that
co-chairmen would be able to coordinate issues on legal status and
referendum within proposals concerning referendum. However, it
contradicts to the interests of Azerbaijan".
Moreover, Organization of Garabagh Liberation considers it
unacceptable for Azerbaijan including proposal of OSCE Minsk Group on
peacemaking forces location on conflict territory: "This proposal
helps to maintain so-called regime, created by Armenians in Nagarno
Garabagh. Peacemaking forces will not serve for Azerbaijanis’
interests, those who would return to their own lands, contrariwise
they will provide security for Armenian occupants, and Armenians will
commit outrages on the given territories. Peacemaking forces
shouldn’t be located on conflict zone, but on Azerbaijan-Armenia
frontiers. However, it will be possible after relative conflict
regulation".
As Organization of Garabagh Liberation underlines co-chairmen
advocate non-use of force either by Armenia or Azerbaijan: "Given
position of co-chairmen contradicts to UN charter, which ensures the
right of every state which suffers aggression for military defense.
In case Azerbaijan agrees with such proposals, it will be deprived of
chance to use this right provided by UN". Organization of Garabagh
Liberation holds that in case Azerbaijan starts negotiating on the
basis of principles put forward by co-chairmen, it will strike
through decisions adopted by UN and other international organizations
regarding Garabagh: "Decrees 822, 853, 874, 884 adopted by UN
Security Council, envisage withdrawal of Armenian military forces
from Azerbaijani territories. One of the false positions of
co-chairmen is that they are not guided by decrees adopted by UN
Security Council, but by Armenians’ demand".
Organization of Garabagh Liberation also touches upon the visit of
American co-chairman Mathew Brayza: "Methew Brayza started his visit
to Nagorni Garabagh from Armenian territory, thus expressing his
"positive" attitude to territorial integrity of Azerbaijan".
