Fooling OSCE MG Co-Chairs Much Harder than UN Representatives

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `Azeri diplomacy disposition to go to various
international institutions and spend efforts instead of focusing on
the talks within the OSCE is not occasional. There are several goals,
the most important of these being prolonging the talks and searching
for propaganda infusion within organizations that are little aware
with the course of the Karabakh conflict,’ former co-chair of OSCE MG
for settlement of the NK conflict, Ambassador Vladimir Kazimirov told
a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

`This is not the first time official Baku departs from actual
settlement tools. It is covered by cock-and-bull story about the
future power of Azerbaijan. Both helps pulling wool over the eyes of
those, who expect the soonest resolution of the conflict, first of all
Azerbaijan’s own internally displaced persons. Besides, fooling OSCE
MG co-chairs is harder than representatives of states, who know little
about Transcaucasia and the Karabakh conflict. There are more such
states in the UN, than in the OSCE. There are also countries, whose
votes can be gathered by appeals to Muslim solidarity,’ he remarked.

At that the Russian diplomat noted that it is easier to convince the
UN that keeping others’ lands occupied is odious. `It is easier to
conceal from them more odious refusals of Baku to cease hostilities in
1992-1994 and even several failures of agreements over that
matter. Accumulating minor propaganda scores is a fragmentary and
peripheral occupation, it cannot speed up settlement of the
conflict. It is not that much important how it will tell on actual
search of compromise. Especially that partial publication of the
settlement scheme by the mediators has made `game in the dark’ with
their own people harder and made moving back. This should be either
compensated by something, or covered. The internal `logic’ of foreign
policy maneuvers of Azerbaijan looks like this. In other words, it is
seeking for effectiveness at the expense of effectiveness,’ Kazimirov
underscored.
