/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The less UN member states know about frozen
conflicts the better is for the initiators of issues of the kind,"
former Russian Co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, Ambassador Vladimir
Kazimirov said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.

"However, Azerbaijan will not derive clear profit from this
move. Azeris will mount their hobby-horse and urge implementation of
the UN Security Council’s resolution on Karabakh. But how are they
going to conceal that they failed to fulfill all UN demand except
for ceasefire. It’s worth mentioning that this provision was observed
partially, for hostilities have been suspended but incidents are still
provoked. It was Baku that upset 4 agreements in 1993-94. Documents
are available. It’s not accidental that after Baku’s violating the
ceasefire in 1993, the UN Security Council stopped to issue resolutions
on Karabakh. What is a year of war? How many people died? How many
people left their homes? The Azerbaijani population suffered from
non-fulfillment of the resolutions most of all. Not the resolutions
but the fear of complete collapse made Baku agree to ceasefire. Other
facts can also come to light in the UN General Assembly. So, GUAM
member states will not have an easy deal in New York," he said.
