/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Peacekeeping forces, which are being presented by
the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs as a guarantee for the security of the
Armenian population of Nagorno Karabakh, will not be able to provide
peaceful co-existence between Azeri and Armenian nations, head of
analytical center "Mitk" Eduard Abramian stated at the presentation
of a brochure titled "Peacekeepers: information package". He said,
re-deployment of Armenian troops from territories, which are considered
as a security belt around Nagorno Karabakh, is unacceptable, since
in this case it will be impossible to avoid large-scale military
operations between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan.

Speaking about possible perspectives of placing peacekeeping troops
on the above-mentioned territories, co-author of the brochure Aram
Palian presented details of the peacekeeping operations in Sudan,
Rwanda, Kosovo, Iraq and other hot spots of the planet. He informed
that actually everywhere, where exists an international peacekeeping
contingent, murders, humiliations and drug trade have acquired a mass
character. Commenting on opinions of a number of Armenian politicians
on possible deployment of peacekeeping troops in some regions of
Nagorno Karabakh, Palian stated that probably the Armenian government
has undertaken an obligation, which obstacles the rapid denial from
similar perspectives.

"As you know, Armenia actively participates in peacekeeping processes,
probably this very fact does not allow the leaders of the country
to refuse from "services" of peacekeepers in the Karabakh conflict
settlement," he concluded.

In his part another co-author of the brochure Karen Vardanesyan
also stressed the unacceptability of deploying peacekeepers in the
conflict zone. As an argument he cited one of the recent UN reports on
activities of peacekeepers in various corners of the planet. According
to that document, today the major part of peacekeeping operations is
doomed to failure.
