/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The wishes of the sides should be taken into
account before deploying peacekeeping forces at the territories under
Karabakh’s control, said Jonathan Henick, the PR Officer at the U.S.
Embassy in Azerbaijan. "On one hand, it’s a positive factor that the
sides do not involve into open military operations despite absence
of peacekeeping forces. On the other hand, people still hit mines
and die. Absence of peacekeepers is also dangerous, since in case of
hostilities it will be extremely hard to stop the process," he said.

When asked to comments on fires on the territories adjacent to
Karabakh, the U.S. Embassy official said, "The parties consent to the
visit of experts could be a model for resolution of other issues,"
